BERT's Core Architecture
The core of a BERT model is a deep, multi-layer Transformer network formed by stacking numerous Transformer layers. Each layer is composed of a self-attention sub-layer and a feed-forward network (FFN) sub-layer, both of which utilize a post-norm architecture. In this structure, the output is calculated as output = LNorm(F(input) + input), where F(·) represents the sub-layer's function (self-attention or FFN) and LNorm(·) is layer normalization. The final output from the network's last layer is a sequence of real-valued vectors, with one vector for each position in the input sequence.

Analysis of Bidirectional Context in Language Models
A language model is pre-trained using a method where it is given a sentence with a randomly hidden word, for example: 'The quick brown [HIDDEN] jumps over the lazy dog.' The model's goal is to predict the hidden word by examining all the other visible words in the sentence. What is the primary advantage of this specific training approach for understanding language?

Trade-offs of Model Depth
An AI team is developing solutions for two distinct tasks: Task A, which involves classifying short customer reviews as positive or negative, and Task B, which requires generating concise summaries of long, complex legal documents. They have two available models: Model X with 6 stacked processing layers and Model Y with 24 stacked processing layers. Based on the relationship between model depth and capability, which of the following strategies is most appropriate?
