BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding (Paper Explained)
Deep Learning Explainer
This video explains a legendary paper, BERT. It leverages the Transformer encoder and comes up with an innovative way to pre-training language models (masked language modeling). BERT has a significant influence on how people approach NLP problems and inspires a lot of following studies and BERT variants.

Abstract We introduce a new language representation model called BERT, which stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers. Unlike recent language representation models, BERT is designed to pre-train deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers. As a result, the pre-trained BERT model can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks, such as question answering and language inference, without substantial task-specific architecture modifications. BERT is conceptually simple and empirically powerful. It obtains new state-of-the-art results on eleven natural language processing tasks, including pushing the GLUE score to 80.5% (7.7% point absolute improvement), MultiNLI accuracy to 86.7% (4.6% absolute improvement), SQuAD v1.1 question answering Test F1 to 93.2 (1.5 point absolute improvement) and SQuAD v2.0 Test F1 to 83.1 (5.1 point absolute improvement). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9toSIRf4RI
