Next Sentence Prediction (NSP)
A simple method for designing a self-supervised classification task to train an encoder is Next Sentence Prediction (NSP), as presented in the original BERT paper. This approach is built on the assumption that a good text encoder should effectively capture the relationship between two sentences. To model this, NSP uses the output of encoding two consecutive sentences, and , to determine whether is indeed the next sentence following . For example, if is 'It is raining .' and is 'I need an umbrella .', the model is tasked with recognizing this sequential relationship.

Designing a Self-Supervised Text Classification Task
A researcher aims to pre-train a text encoder on a large corpus of unlabeled articles. They propose the following self-supervised classification task: For each training instance, a paragraph is extracted. With 50% probability, the sentences within that paragraph are randomly reordered. The model's task is to predict a binary label: 'Original Order' or 'Shuffled Order'. Which statement best evaluates the potential effectiveness of this task for its intended purpose?
A key aspect of training text encoders with self-supervision is designing a classification task that forces the model to learn a useful property of language. Match each proposed self-supervised classification task with the primary linguistic property it is designed to teach the model.
Next Sentence Prediction (NSP)
A language representation model is designed with the flexibility to process either a single piece of text or a pair of texts as its input, allowing it to be adapted for a wide variety of tasks. Which of the following tasks would most directly benefit from the model's ability to process a pair of texts?
BERT Input Format for Sentence Pairs
Choosing Input Formats for Language Tasks
A language model is being used for four different tasks. Three of these tasks are best addressed by providing the model with a pair of texts to analyze their relationship. One task, however, only requires a single text input. Which task is the outlier that would be handled using a single text input?

A language model is pre-trained on a large corpus of text using a specific objective: for any given pair of sentences, the model must predict whether the second sentence is the one that actually follows the first in the source document. Which of the following best describes the primary type of understanding this training method is intended to instill in the model?
A language model is pre-trained exclusively on a task where it learns to predict if one sentence immediately follows another in a large text corpus. While the model achieves high accuracy on this pre-training task, it struggles when fine-tuned for tasks requiring nuanced logical inference between sentences. Which of the following statements provides the most insightful critique of the pre-training task, explaining this performance gap?
