auth_token error on model download

[jTerracina]

Hi I'm getting this error about an unexpected keyword 'use_auth_token'

File "~/*/test_tweetnlp/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/transformers/modeling_utils.py", line 4072, in from_pretrained model = cls(config, *model_args, **model_kwargs) TypeError: RobertaForSequenceClassification.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_auth_token'

I've distilled this down to a minimal project to reproduce the issue:

import tweetnlp  

def main():
    model = tweetnlp.load_model("sentiment")
    result = model.sentiment("I'm afraid that tweetnlp might not work properly.")
    print(result)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Tweetnlp is the only dependency installed for the project.

I did a bit of googling and is seems that the hugging face transformers library which tweetnlp has a dependency on has deprecated the 'use_auth_token' in favor of 'token' . https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/the-use-auth-token-argument-is-deprecated-and-will-be-removed-in-v5-of-transformers/53943/5

Presumably updating the relevant argument in tweetnlp or pinning it to an older version of transformers would fix the issue. I don't have time to investigate further, but if there is interest I would be willing to attempt a fix with a PR sometime later...
