class BertEmbeddings(classname='com.johnsnowlabs.nlp.embeddings.BertEmbeddings', java_model=None)[source]#

Token-level embeddings using BERT.

BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) provides dense vector representations for natural language by using a deep, pre-trained neural network with the Transformer architecture.

Pretrained models can be loaded with pretrained() of the companion object:

>>> embeddings = BertEmbeddings.pretrained() \
...     .setInputCols(["token", "document"]) \
...     .setOutputCol("bert_embeddings")

The default model is "small_bert_L2_768", if no name is provided.

For available pretrained models please see the Models Hub.

For extended examples of usage, see the Examples. To see which models are compatible and how to import them see Import Transformers into Spark NLP 🚀.

Paper 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).
