AI GlossaryBERTENTRY — Natural Language Processing
[Natural Language Processing]
BERT.
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, a pre-trained language model for NLP tasks.
In-depth explanation
01BERT (2018) revolutionized NLP by pre-training a transformer encoder on masked language modeling and next sentence prediction. Unlike previous models that read text left-to-right, BERT reads bidirectionally, capturing context from both directions. BERT is fine-tuned for downstream tasks like classification, QA, and NER, achieving state-of-the-art results.
