BERT Base fine tuned on MNLI

Model

This checkpoint is based on google-bert/bert-base-uncased.

It was fine tuned on the MultiNLI training split. The training set contained 392,702 premise and hypothesis pairs.

The model predicts one of three labels:

The input order is premise first and hypothesis second.

Evaluation

MultiNLI does not provide public labels for its test set. The checkpoint was evaluated on the two official validation splits.

The matched split contains genres represented in training.

The mismatched split contains held out genres and measures transfer across genres.

These values are plain classification accuracy.

The results are not presented here as a universal leaderboard claim.

The machine readable results are stored in baseline_eval.json.

Training

The hyperparameters were selected for this model and dataset combination.

The full training record is stored in model_card.json.

Use

Load the repository with AutoTokenizer and AutoModelForSequenceClassification from the Transformers library.

Pass the premise and hypothesis as a text pair.

Use a maximum sequence length of 128 to match training.

Limitations

The model was trained and evaluated on English MultiNLI data.

Performance on other NLI datasets may differ.

The two validation scores measure different genre conditions and should be reported separately.

The model can inherit errors and biases from the base model and the training data.

The checkpoint has not been evaluated for high risk or safety critical use.
