+ # Model Card for boltuix/bert-mid
33
+
34
+ The `boltuix/bert-mid` model is a compact BERT variant designed for natural language processing tasks requiring well-rounded performance with moderate resource demands. Pretrained on English text using masked language modeling (MLM) and next sentence prediction (NSP) objectives, it is optimized for fine-tuning on a variety of NLP tasks, including sequence classification, token classification, and question answering. With a size of ~50 MB, it offers a balanced solution for applications needing solid accuracy and efficiency, ideal for mid-tier deployments.
35
+
36
+ ## Model Details
37
+
38
+ ### Model Description
39
+
40
+ The `boltuix/bert-mid` model is a PyTorch-based transformer model derived from TensorFlow checkpoints in the Google BERT repository. It builds on research from *On the Importance of Pre-training Compact Models* ([arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.08962)) and *Generalization in NLI: Ways (Not) To Go Beyond Simple Heuristics* ([arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.08962)). Ported to Hugging Face, this uncased model (~50 MB) is engineered for mid-tier NLP applications, such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and natural language inference, making it suitable for developers and researchers seeking a cost-effective, balanced model.

73
+
74
+ ## Uses
75
+
76
+ ### Direct Use
77
+
78
+ The model can be used directly for masked language modeling or next sentence prediction tasks, such as predicting missing words in sentences or determining sentence coherence, delivering balanced accuracy in these core tasks.
79
+
80
+ ### Downstream Use
81
+
82
+ The model is designed for fine-tuning on a range of downstream NLP tasks, including:
83
+ - Sequence classification (e.g., sentiment analysis, intent detection)
84
+ - Token classification (e.g., named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging)
85
+ - Question answering (e.g., extractive QA, reading comprehension)
86
+ - Natural language inference (e.g., MNLI, RTE)
87
+ It is recommended for developers, researchers, and small-to-medium enterprises seeking a mid-tier NLP model with solid performance and efficient resource usage.
88
+
89
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
90
+
91
+ The model is not suitable for:
92
+ - Text generation tasks (use generative models like GPT-3 instead).
93
+ - Non-English language tasks without significant fine-tuning.
94
+ - High-performance applications requiring maximum accuracy (use `boltuix/bert-large` or `boltuix/bert-pro` instead).
95
+
96
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
97
+
98
+ The model may inherit biases from its training data (BookCorpus and English Wikipedia), potentially reinforcing stereotypes, such as gender or occupational biases. For example:
99
+ ```python
100
+ from transformers import pipeline
101
+ unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='boltuix/bert-mid')
102
+ unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].")
103
+ ```
104
+ **Output**:
105
+ ```json
106
+ [
107
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a engineer. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'engineer'},
108
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a doctor. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'doctor'},
109
+ ...
110
+ ]
111
+ ```
112
+ ```python
113
+ unmasker("The woman worked as a [MASK].")
114
+ ```
115
+ **Output**:
116
+ ```json
117
+ [
118
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a teacher. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'teacher'},
119
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a nurse. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'nurse'},
120
+ ...
121
+ ]
122
+ ```
123
+ These biases may propagate to downstream tasks. Due to its size (~50 MB), the model is suitable for many devices but may still require optimization for ultra-constrained environments.
124
+
125
+ ### Recommendations
126
+
127
+ Users should:
128
+ - Conduct bias audits tailored to their application.
129
+ - Fine-tune with diverse, representative datasets to reduce bias.
130
+ - Apply model compression techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning) for deployment on resource-constrained devices.
131
+
132
+ ## How to Get Started with the Model
133
+
134
+ Use the code below to get started with the model.
135
+
136

138
+
139
+ # Masked Language Modeling
140
+ unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='boltuix/bert-mid')
141
+ result = unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.")
142
+ print(result)
143
+
144
+ # Feature Extraction (PyTorch)
145
+ tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('boltuix/bert-mid')
146
+ model = BertModel.from_pretrained('boltuix/bert-mid')
147
+ text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
148
+ encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
149
+ output = model(**encoded_input)
150
+ ```
