Dataset.map() turns tensors into lists?
It is expected behavior, you should set the format to `"torch"` as you mentioned to get pytorch tensors back.
By default datasets returns pure python objects.
I apply `Dataset.map()` to a function that returns a dict of torch tensors (like a tokenizer from the repo transformers). However, in the mapped dataset, these tensors have turned to lists!

```import datasets
import torch  
from datasets import load_dataset                                                                                                                 
print("version datasets", datasets.__version__)

dataset = load_dataset("snli", split='train[0:50]')  

def tokenizer_fn(example):
    # actually uses a tokenizer which does something like:
    return {'input_ids': torch.tensor([[0, 1, 2]])}

print("First item in dataset:\n", dataset[0])
tokenized = tokenizer_fn(dataset[0])
print("Tokenized hyp:\n", tokenized)
dataset_tok = dataset.map(tokenizer_fn, batched=False,
        remove_columns=['label', 'premise', 'hypothesis'])
print("Tokenized using map:\n", dataset_tok[0])
print(type(tokenized['input_ids']), type(dataset_tok[0]['input_ids']))
dataset_tok = dataset.map(tokenizer_fn, batched=False,
                          remove_columns=['label', 'premise', 'hypothesis'])
print("Tokenized using map:\n", dataset_tok[0])
print(type(tokenized['input_ids']), type(dataset_tok[0]['input_ids']))
```

The output is:

```
version datasets 1.1.3

Or am I doing something wrong?
