Masked Language Modeling
Masked Language Modeling (MLM) is a highly popular pre-training method for encoders and forms the foundation for models like BERT. The core principle involves creating a prediction task by masking some tokens in an input sequence. The model is then trained to predict these original, masked tokens by leveraging the surrounding unmasked tokens as context. This process forces the model to develop a deep, bidirectional understanding of language by considering both left and right contexts.

BERT's Masked Language Model Pre-training Process
A language model is trained on a large corpus of text. During this training, it is frequently presented with sentences where a single word has been hidden, such as: 'The scientist carefully examined the sample under the [HIDDEN]'. The model's sole objective is to predict the original, hidden word. What is the most significant advantage of this training objective for the model's understanding of language?
