    Post-processes the predictions of a question-answering model to convert them to answers that are substrings of the
    original contexts. This is the base postprocessing functions for models that only return start and end logits.

    Args:
        examples: The non-preprocessed dataset (see the main script for more information).
        features: The processed dataset (see the main script for more information).
        predictions (:obj:`Tuple[np.ndarray, np.ndarray]`):
            The predictions of the model: two arrays containing the start logits and the end logits respectively. Its
            first dimension must match the number of elements of :obj:`features`.
        version_2_with_negative (:obj:`bool`, `optional`, defaults to :obj:`False`):
            Whether or not the underlying dataset contains examples with no answers.
        n_best_size (:obj:`int`, `optional`, defaults to 20):
            The total number of n-best predictions to generate when looking for an answer.
        max_answer_length (:obj:`int`, `optional`, defaults to 30):
            The maximum length of an answer that can be generated. This is needed because the start and end predictions
            are not conditioned on one another.
        null_score_diff_threshold (:obj:`float`, `optional`, defaults to 0):
            The threshold used to select the null answer: if the best answer has a score that is less than the score of
            the null answer minus this threshold, the null answer is selected for this example (note that the score of
            the null answer for an example giving several features is the minimum of the scores for the null answer on
            each feature: all features must be aligned on the fact they `want` to predict a null answer).

            Only useful when :obj:`version_2_with_negative` is :obj:`True`.
        output_dir (:obj:`str`, `optional`):
            If provided, the dictionaries of predictions, n_best predictions (with their scores and logits) and, if
            :obj:`version_2_with_negative=True`, the dictionary of the scores differences between best and null
            answers, are saved in `output_dir`.
        prefix (:obj:`str`, `optional`):
            If provided, the dictionaries mentioned above are saved with `prefix` added to their names.
        log_level (:obj:`int`, `optional`, defaults to ``logging.WARNING``):
            ``logging`` log level (e.g., ``logging.WARNING``)
