BERT, standing for Bidirectional Encoder Representations From Transformers, is a deep learning architecture developed by Google in 2018.
BERT reads text bidirectionally, meaning it considers words in both directions simultaneously, unlike traditional NLP models.
The uniqueness of BERT lies in its ability to understand word meanings in context by analyzing surrounding words, making it revolutionary for NLP tasks.
BERT is based on transformer architecture and includes components like token embedding, positional encodings, multi-head self-attention, and stacked layers for language understanding.
