BERT's Masked Language Modeling Pre-training Pipeline
The pre-training pipeline for BERT's Masked Language Modeling (MLM) is a multi-step process. It begins with an input sequence, from which 15% of tokens are randomly selected. These chosen tokens are then altered: 80% are masked, 10% are replaced by random tokens, and 10% are left unchanged. This modified sequence is converted into embeddings and processed by a Transformer Encoder to produce contextualized hidden states. Finally, the model is trained using these hidden states to predict the original values of the altered tokens.

Training Objective of the Standard BERT Model
During a self-supervised pre-training process, a model is given an input sequence where one word has been replaced by a special symbol, for example: 'The quick brown [MASK] jumps over the lazy dog.' The model's objective is to predict the original word, 'fox'. Which of the following is the direct input used by the final output layer to make this specific prediction?

An input sequence of 200 tokens is processed during a model's self-supervised pre-training. The procedure first selects 15% of the tokens for modification. Of this selected group, 80% are replaced with a special mask symbol, 10% are replaced with a different, random token, and the final 10% are left as they are. Given this process, which statement accurately describes the state of the 200-token sequence after this modification step?
