Model overview
bert-base-japanese-whole-word-masking is a BERT model pretrained on Japanese text. It uses word-level tokenization based on the IPA dictionary, followed by WordPiece subword tokenization. The model is trained with whole word masking, where all subwords corresponding to a single word are masked at once during the masked language modeling (MLM) objective.
Similar models include BERT large model (uncased) whole word masking finetuned on SQuAD, Chinese BERT models with whole word masking, and the multilingual BERT base model. These models leverage whole word masking and multilingual training to improve performance on language understanding tasks.
Model inputs and outputs

bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squad
143
The bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squad model is a version of the BERT large model that has been fine-tuned on the SQuAD dataset. BERT is a transformers model that was pretrained on a large corpus of English data using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. This means the model was trained to predict masked words in a sentence, allowing it to learn a bidirectional representation of the language. The key difference for this specific model is that it was trained using "whole word masking" instead of the standard subword masking. In whole word masking, all tokens corresponding to a single word are masked together, rather than masking individual subwords. This change was found to improve the model's performance on certain tasks. After pretraining, this model was further fine-tuned on the SQuAD question-answering dataset. SQuAD contains reading comprehension questions based on Wikipedia articles, so this additional fine-tuning allows the model to excel at question-answering tasks. Model inputs and outputs Inputs Text**: The model takes text as input, which can be a single passage, or a pair of sentences (e.g. a question and a passage containing the answer). Outputs Predicted answer**: For question-answering tasks, the model outputs the text span from the input passage that answers the given question. Confidence score**: The model also provides a confidence score for the predicted answer. Capabilities The bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking-finetuned-squad model is highly capable at question-answering tasks, thanks to its pretraining on large text corpora and fine-tuning on the SQuAD dataset. It can accurately extract relevant answer spans from input passages given natural language questions. For example, given the question "What is the capital of France?" and a passage about European countries, the model would correctly identify "Paris" as the answer. Or for a more complex question like "When was the first mouse invented?", the model could locate the relevant information in a passage and provide the appropriate answer. What can I use it for? This model is well-suited for building question-answering applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, or knowledge retrieval systems. By fine-tuning the model on domain-specific data, you can create specialized question-answering capabilities tailored to your use case. For example, you could fine-tune the model on a corpus of medical literature to build a virtual assistant that can answer questions about health and treatments. Or fine-tune it on technical documentation to create a tool that helps users find answers to their questions about a product or service. Things to try One interesting aspect of this model is its use of whole word masking during pretraining. This technique has been shown to improve the model's understanding of word relationships and its ability to reason about complete concepts, rather than just individual subwords. To see this in action, you could try providing the model with questions that require some level of reasoning or common sense, beyond just literal text matching. See how the model performs on questions that involve inference, analogy, or understanding broader context. Additionally, you could experiment with fine-tuning the model on different question-answering datasets, or even combine it with other techniques like data augmentation, to further enhance its capabilities for your specific use case.

The maintainer's profile provides more information about the team behind this model and their other Chinese BERT-based models. Things to try One interesting thing to try with the chinese-roberta-wwm-ext-large model is to explore how its whole word masking pre-training approach affects its performance on tasks that require a deep understanding of Chinese language semantics and structure. For example, you could compare its performance on a Chinese question answering task to a BERT model trained without whole word masking, to see if the specialized pre-training provides a meaningful boost in accuracy. Another idea is to experiment with using the model's contextual embeddings as input features for other Chinese NLP models, and see how they compare to embeddings from other pre-trained Chinese language models. This could help you understand the unique strengths and capabilities of this particular model.
