Weakly supervised BERT-based classification/Evidence
Method evidence record

Weakly supervised BERT-based classification

Weakly supervised BERT-based classification adapts BERT to text classification tasks when only noisy, heuristic, or programmatically generated labels are available instead of clean human annotations. It combines weak supervision frameworks — such as labeling functions and data programming — with BERT's pre-trained language representations to achieve robust classification without expensive hand-labeling.
