+ # Model Card for boltuix/bert-medium
33
+
34
+ The `boltuix/bert-medium` model is a versatile BERT variant designed for natural language processing tasks requiring a strong balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. Pretrained on English text using masked language modeling (MLM) and next sentence prediction (NSP) objectives, it is optimized for fine-tuning on a wide range of NLP tasks, including sequence classification, token classification, and question answering. With a size of ~160 MB, it serves as a robust general-purpose model for applications needing reliable performance with moderate resource requirements.
35
+
36
+ ## Model Details
37
+
38
+ ### Model Description
39
+
40
+ The `boltuix/bert-medium` 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 (~160 MB) is engineered for general-purpose NLP applications, such as sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and natural language inference, making it ideal for researchers and developers seeking a balance between performance and resource efficiency.

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 reliable accuracy in these core tasks.
79
+
80
+ ### Downstream Use
81
+
82
+ The model is designed for fine-tuning on a variety 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 researchers, developers, and enterprises seeking a general-purpose NLP model with strong performance and moderate resource requirements.
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
+ - Ultra-low-latency or highly resource-constrained environments (use `boltuix/bert-micro` or `boltuix/bert-mini` 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-medium')
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 (~160 MB), the model may still require optimization for deployment on resource-constrained devices.
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 resource-constrained deployments.
131
+
132
+ ## How to Get Started with the Model
133
+
134
+ Use the code below to get started with the model.
