Role of the [CLS] Token in Sequence Classification
The special token is typically prepended as the start symbol, denoted as , of an input sequence before it enters an encoder. While it marks the start at the input level, its primary utility is at the output stage. The encoder's final hidden state corresponding to this token, denoted as , is generally considered to be the representation of the entire sequence. Consequently, this aggregate vector is often fed into a classification layer, such as a Softmax layer, to construct systems for sequence-level tasks like binary classification.

Evaluating a Sequence Representation Method
A machine learning engineer is building a model to classify sentences as either 'question' or 'statement'. They add a special classification token to the beginning of each input sentence before passing it to an encoder. The encoder then produces a final hidden state vector for every token in the input. For the final classification step, which hidden state vector should be used as the representative summary of the entire sentence?
Debugging a Sequence Classification Model
In a sequence classification task, the special token prepended to the input is designed so that its initial vector representation, before being processed by the main model, contains a summary of the entire sequence's meaning.
