Auto-Encoding Pre-trained Language Models

During pre-training, auto-encoding language models corrupt part of the input, such as by masking tokens, and learn to reconstruct the missing content from bidirectional context. They typically use the encoder portion of a Transformer, allowing each token representation to attend to available context on both sides. After fine-tuning, these models are well suited to natural-language-understanding tasks such as sentence classification and sequence labeling. Examples include BERT, RoBERTa, and ERNIE.
