Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in
this paper and first released in
this repository. This model is uncased: it does not make a difference
between english and English.
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:
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.
This is a fine-tuned downstream version of the bert-base-uncased model for sentiment analysis, this model is not intended for
further downstream fine-tuning for any other tasks. This model is trained on a classified dataset for text-classification.
