BERT architecture and math foundations explored

This article provides an in-depth exploration of BERT, a language model introduced in 2018. It details BERT's architecture, workflow, code, and mathematical foundations, contrasting it with modern auto-regressive LLMs. The explanation covers key differences like BERT's bidirectional attention mechanism, which allows tokens to attend to context in both directions, unlike the causal masks used in decoder-based LLMs. The piece also outlines the specifications for BERT Base and BERT Large models, including their layer counts, attention heads, and parameter numbers.
