ThreadText: # What is MNLI-(m/mm)?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-20)
  
  I came across the term **MNLI-(m/mm)** in Table 1 of the paper [BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf). I know what MNLI stands for, i.e. Multi-Genre Natural Language Inference, but I'm just unsure about the **-(m/mm)** part.

  It would be nice if someone knows this or has a paper that explains this.

  It states that mnli-mm stands for the mismatched version of MNLI
  That means that the mnli-m would mean matched version of MNLI
