Fine-Tuning BERT for Downstream Tasks

Explore how to fine-tune pre-trained BERT models for various NLP downstream tasks including sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, question answering, and natural language inference. Understand the process of updating BERT weights during fine-tuning versus using it as a feature extractor, and learn practical methods for adapting BERT to specific classification challenges.

Let's learn how to fine-tune the pre-trained BERT model for downstream tasks. Note that fine-tuning implies that we are not training BERT from scratch; instead, we are using the pre-trained BERT and updating its weights according to our task.

Downstream tasks

We will learn how to fine-tune the pre-trained BERT model for the following downstream tasks:

  • Text classification

  • Natural language inference (NLI)

  • Named entity recognition (NER)

  • Question-answering
