BERT
Bidirectional language model
BERT is a groundbreaking natural language processing model developed by Google in 2018.
The name stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers—a technical description of how it processes text by reading in both directions simultaneously.
BERT revolutionized how computers understand context in language, powering search engines and AI systems.
The name also nods to the Sesame Street character, following a tradition of playful AI naming.
