Text Regression with BERT Models
BERT models can be adapted for regression tasks, where the goal is to predict a continuous, real-valued score rather than a discrete class label. This adaptation is achieved by modifying the final prediction network, while keeping the core BERT architecture unchanged from its classification counterpart. For instance, to compute the similarity between two sentences, a Sigmoid layer can be added to the prediction network to ensure the output is a score within a specific range.

Selecting the Appropriate NLP Task for a Business Need
Match each description of a natural language processing task with the most appropriate application name.
A company uses a fine-tuned pre-trained model to automatically process thousands of customer product reviews. When a review states, 'I am extremely disappointed with this purchase; it stopped working after just one use,' the system assigns it a 'Negative' label. Which primary application of a pre-trained model does this system exemplify?

Adapting a Language Model for a New Task
A data science team has a pre-trained transformer model that has been successfully fine-tuned for a text classification task, predicting whether a product review is 'positive' or 'negative'. They now want to adapt this model for a new regression task: predicting a continuous 'star rating' for reviews, on a scale from 1.0 to 5.0. Which of the following modifications represents the most direct and essential change to the model's architecture to enable this new task?
