Domain-adaptive BERT-based Classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Domain-adaptive BERT-based Classification

Domain-adaptive BERT-based classification extends the standard fine-tuning pipeline by first continuing BERT's masked-language-model pre-training on a large corpus of in-domain unlabeled text, then fine-tuning the adapted model on labeled examples for the target classification task. This two-stage approach closes the vocabulary and distributional gap between BERT's general pre-training corpus and specialized domains such as biomedicine, law, finance, or social-media text.
