# BERT base model (uncased) for Teachable NLP |
|
|
|
- This model forked from [bert-base-uncased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-uncased) for fine tune [Teachable NLP](https://ainize.ai/teachable-nlp). |
|
|
|
Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in |
|
[this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805) and first released in |
|
[this repository](https://github.com/google-research/bert). This model is uncased: it does not make a difference |
|
between english and English. |
|
|
|
Disclaimer: The team releasing BERT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by |
|
the Hugging Face team. |
|
|
|
## Model description |
|
|
|
BERT is a transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. This means it |
|
was pretrained on the raw texts only, with no humans labelling them in any way (which is why it can use lots of |
|
publicly available data) with an automatic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts. More precisely, it |
|
was pretrained with two objectives: |
|
|
|
- Masked language modeling (MLM): taking a sentence, the model randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run |
|
the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict the masked words. This is different from traditional |
|
recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one after the other, or from autoregressive models like |
|
GPT which internally mask the future tokens. It allows the model to learn a bidirectional representation of the |
|
sentence. |
|
- Next sentence prediction (NSP): the models concatenates two masked sentences as inputs during pretraining. Sometimes |
|
they correspond to sentences that were next to each other in the original text, sometimes not. The model then has to |
|
predict if the two sentences were following each other or not. |
|
|
|
This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features |
|
useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled sentences for instance, you can train a standard |
|
classifier using the features produced by the BERT model as inputs. |
|
|
|
## Intended uses & limitations |
|
|
|
You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to |
|
be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=bert) to look for |
|
fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you. |
|
|
|
Note that this model is primarily aimed at being fine-tuned on tasks that use the whole sentence (potentially masked) |
|
to make decisions, such as sequence classification, token classification or question answering. For tasks such as text |
|
generation you should look at model like GPT2. |
|
|
|
### How to use |
|
|
|
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
>>> from transformers import pipeline |
|
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='bert-base-uncased') |
|
>>> unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.") |
|
|
|
[{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a fashion model. [SEP]", |
|
'score': 0.1073106899857521, |
|
'token': 4827, |
|
'token_str': 'fashion'}, |
|
{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a role model. [SEP]", |
|
'score': 0.08774490654468536, |
|
'token': 2535, |
|
'token_str': 'role'}, |
|
{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a new model. [SEP]", |
|
'score': 0.05338378623127937, |
|
'token': 2047, |
|
'token_str': 'new'}, |
|
{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a super model. [SEP]", |
|
'score': 0.04667217284440994, |
|
'token': 3565, |
|
'token_str': 'super'}, |
|
{'sequence': "[CLS] hello i'm a fine model. [SEP]", |
|
'score': 0.027095865458250046, |
|
'token': 2986, |
|
'token_str': 'fine'}] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel |
|
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased') |
|
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased") |
|
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like." |
|
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt') |
|
output = model(**encoded_input) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
and in TensorFlow: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import BertTokenizer, TFBertModel |
|
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('bert-base-uncased') |
|
model = TFBertModel.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased") |
|
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like." |
|
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf') |
|
output = model(encoded_input) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
### Limitations and bias |
|
|
|
Even if the training data used for this model could be characterized as fairly neutral, this model can have biased |
|
predictions: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
>>> from transformers import pipeline |
|
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='bert-base-uncased') |
|
>>> unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].") |
|
|
|
[{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a carpenter. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.09747550636529922, |
|
'token': 10533, |
|
'token_str': 'carpenter'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a waiter. [SEP]', |
|

|
'token_str': 'waiter'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a barber. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.04962705448269844, |
|
'token': 13362, |
|
'token_str': 'barber'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a mechanic. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.03788609802722931, |
|
'token': 15893, |
|
'token_str': 'mechanic'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a salesman. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.037680890411138535, |
|
'token': 18968, |
|
'token_str': 'salesman'}] |
|
|
|
>>> unmasker("The woman worked as a [MASK].") |
|
|
|
[{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a nurse. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.21981462836265564, |
|
'token': 6821, |
|
'token_str': 'nurse'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a waitress. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.1597415804862976, |
|

|
'token_str': 'waitress'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a maid. [SEP]', |
|

|
'token': 10850, |
|
'token_str': 'maid'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a prostitute. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.037968918681144714, |
|
'token': 19215, |
|
'token_str': 'prostitute'}, |
|
{'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a cook. [SEP]', |
|
'score': 0.03042375110089779, |
|
'token': 5660, |
|
'token_str': 'cook'}] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model. |
|
|
|
## Training data |
|
|
|
The BERT model was pretrained on [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038 |
|
unpublished books and [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and |
|
headers). |
|
|
|
## Training procedure |
|
|
|
### Preprocessing |
|
|
|
The texts are lowercased and tokenized using WordPiece and a vocabulary size of 30,000. The inputs of the model are |
|
then of the form: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
[CLS] Sentence A [SEP] Sentence B [SEP] |
|
``` |
|
|
|
With probability 0.5, sentence A and sentence B correspond to two consecutive sentences in the original corpus and in |
|
the other cases, it's another random sentence in the corpus. Note that what is considered a sentence here is a |
|
consecutive span of text usually longer than a single sentence. The only constrain is that the result with the two |
|
"sentences" has a combined length of less than 512 tokens. |
|
|
|
The details of the masking procedure for each sentence are the following: |
|
|
|
- 15% of the tokens are masked. |
|
- In 80% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by `[MASK]`. |
|
- In 10% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by a random token (different) from the one they replace. |
|
- In the 10% remaining cases, the masked tokens are left as is. |
|
|
|
### Pretraining |
|
|
|
The model was trained on 4 cloud TPUs in Pod configuration (16 TPU chips total) for one million steps with a batch size |
|
of 256. The sequence length was limited to 128 tokens for 90% of the steps and 512 for the remaining 10%. The optimizer |
|
used is Adam with a learning rate of 1e-4, \\(\beta*{1} = 0.9\\) and \\(\beta*{2} = 0.999\\), a weight decay of 0.01, |
|
learning rate warmup for 10,000 steps and linear decay of the learning rate after. |
|
