+ # Model Card for boltuix/bert-micro
33
+
34
+ The `boltuix/bert-micro` model is the smallest BERT variant in the BoltUIX family, designed for natural language processing tasks requiring blazing-fast performance in highly resource-constrained environments. Pretrained on English text using masked language modeling (MLM) and next sentence prediction (NSP) objectives, it is optimized for fine-tuning on lightweight NLP tasks, such as basic sequence classification and token classification. With a size of ~15 MB, it offers moderate accuracy for applications prioritizing speed and efficiency over high precision.
35
+
36
+ ## Model Details
37
+
38
+ ### Model Description
39
+
40
+ The `boltuix/bert-micro` 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 (~15 MB) is engineered for minimal NLP applications, such as basic sentiment analysis and named entity recognition, making it ideal for developers and researchers targeting ultra-lightweight deployments on edge devices.

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 moderate accuracy in these core tasks.
79
+
80
+ ### Downstream Use
81
+
82
+ The model is designed for fine-tuning on lightweight downstream NLP tasks, including:
83
+ - Basic sequence classification (e.g., simple sentiment analysis, intent detection)
84
+ - Token classification (e.g., named entity recognition)
85
+ - Simple question answering (e.g., basic extractive QA)
86
+ It is recommended for developers and researchers working on highly resource-constrained devices, such as low-power edge devices, where speed and minimal resource usage are critical.
87
+
88
+ ### Out-of-Scope Use
89
+
90
+ The model is not suitable for:
91
+ - Text generation tasks (use generative models like GPT-3 instead).
92
+ - Non-English language tasks without significant fine-tuning.
93
+ - Applications requiring high accuracy (use `boltuix/bert-tinyplus`, `boltuix/bert-small`, or larger variants instead).
94
+
95
+ ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
96
+
97
+ The model may inherit biases from its training data (BookCorpus and English Wikipedia), potentially reinforcing stereotypes, such as gender or occupational biases. For example:
98
+ ```python
99
+ from transformers import pipeline
100
+ unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='boltuix/bert-micro')
101
+ unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].")
102
+ ```
103
+ **Output**:
104
+ ```json
105
+ [
106
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a engineer. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'engineer'},
107
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the man worked as a doctor. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'doctor'},
108
+ ...
109
+ ]
110
+ ```
111
+ ```python
112
+ unmasker("The woman worked as a [MASK].")
113
+ ```
114
+ **Output**:
115
+ ```json
116
+ [
117
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a teacher. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'teacher'},
118
+ {'sequence': '[CLS] the woman worked as a nurse. [SEP]', 'token_str': 'nurse'},
119
+ ...
120
+ ]
121
+ ```
122
+ These biases may propagate to downstream tasks. Due to its minimal size (~15 MB), the model is highly efficient but has limited capacity for complex tasks, making it less suitable for applications requiring robust performance.
123
+
124
+ ### Recommendations
125
+
126
+ Users should:
127
+ - Conduct bias audits tailored to their application.
128
+ - Fine-tune with diverse, representative datasets to reduce bias.
129
+ - Apply model compression techniques (e.g., quantization) for deployment on ultra-constrained devices.
130
+
131
+ ## How to Get Started with the Model
132
+
133
+ Use the code below to get started with the model.
134

139
+ unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='boltuix/bert-micro')
140
+ result = unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.")
141
+ print(result)
142
+
143

144
+ tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('boltuix/bert-micro')
145
+ model = BertModel.from_pretrained('boltuix/bert-micro')
146
+ text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
147
+ encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
148
+ output = model(**encoded_input)
149
