+**Data Preprocessing**
+
+ I used the load_dataset function to load all the patent applications that were filed to the USPTO in January 2016. We specify the date ranges of the training and validation sets as January 1-21, 2016 and January 22-31, 2016, respectively. This is a smaller dataset.

+ - map the 'abstract' and 'claims' sections
+ - format them
+ - use DataLoader with batch_size = 16
