These include sentence-level tasks such as natural language inference ( Bowman et al. , 2015 ; Williams et al. , 2018 ) and paraphrasing ( Dolan and Brockett , 2005 ) , which aim to predict the relationships between sentences by analyzing them holistically , as well as token-level tasks such as named entity recognition and question answering , where models are required to produce fine-grained output at the token level ( Tjong Kim Sang and De Meulder , 2003 ; Rajpurkar et al. , 2016 ) . There are two existing strategies for applying pre-trained language representations to downstream tasks : feature-based and fine-tuning . The feature-based approach , such as ELMo ( Peters et al. , 2018a ) , uses task-specific architectures that include the pre-trained representations as additional features . The fine-tuning approach , such as the Generative Pre-trained Transformer ( OpenAI GPT ) ( Radford et al. , 2018 ) , introduces minimal task-specific parameters , and is trained on the downstream tasks by simply fine-tuning all pretrained parameters . The two approaches share the same objective function during pre-training , where they use unidirectional language models to learn general language representations . We argue that current techniques restrict the power of the pre-trained representations , especially for the fine-tuning approaches . The major limitation is that standard language models are unidirectional , and this limits the choice of architectures that can be used during pre-training . For example , in OpenAI GPT , the authors use a left-toright architecture , where every token can only attend to previous tokens in the self-attention layers of the Transformer ( Vaswani et al. , 2017 ) . Such restrictions are sub-optimal for sentence-level tasks , and could be very harmful when applying finetuning based approaches to token-level tasks such as question answering , where it is crucial to incorporate context from both directions . In this paper , we improve the fine-tuning based approaches by proposing BERT : Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers . BERT alleviates the previously mentioned unidirectionality constraint by using a `` masked language model '' ( MLM ) pre-training objective , inspired by the Cloze task ( Taylor , 1953 ) . The masked language model randomly masks some of the tokens from the input , and the objective is to predict the original vocabulary id of the masked arXiv:1810.04805v2 [ cs.CL ] 24 May 2019 word based only on its context . Unlike left-toright language model pre-training , the MLM objective enables the representation to fuse the left and the right context , which allows us to pretrain a deep bidirectional Transformer . In addition to the masked language model , we also use a `` next sentence prediction '' task that jointly pretrains text-pair representations . The contributions of our paper are as follows : • We demonstrate the importance of bidirectional pre-training for language representations . Unlike Radford et al . ( 2018 ) , which uses unidirectional language models for pre-training , BERT uses masked language models to enable pretrained deep bidirectional representations . This is also in contrast to Peters et al . ( 2018a ) , which uses a shallow concatenation of independently trained left-to-right and right-to-left LMs . • We show that pre-trained representations reduce the need for many heavily-engineered taskspecific architectures . BERT is the first finetuning based representation model that achieves state-of-the-art performance on a large suite of sentence-level and token-level tasks , outperforming many task-specific architectures . • BERT advances the state of the art for eleven NLP tasks .
