    ALBERT

    ALBERT

    Google

    ALBERT is a self-supervised Transformer model that was pretrained on a large corpus of English data. This means it does not require manual labelling, and instead uses an automated process to generate inputs and labels from raw texts. It is trained with two distinct objectives in mind. The first is Masked Language Modeling (MLM), which randomly masks 15% of words in the input sentence and requires the model to predict them. This technique differs from RNNs and autoregressive models like GPT as it allows the model to learn bidirectional sentence representations. The second objective is Sentence Ordering Prediction (SOP), which entails predicting the ordering of two consecutive segments of text during pretraining.
