 was pretrained with two objectives:
 
 - Masked language modeling (MLM): taking a sentence, the model randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run
   the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict the masked words. This is different from traditional
   recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one after the other, or from autoregressive models like

 - Next sentence prediction (NSP): the models concatenates two masked sentences as inputs during pretraining. Sometimes
   they correspond to sentences that were next to each other in the original text, sometimes not. The model then has to
   predict if the two sentences were following each other or not.
 
 This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features

 "sentences" has a combined length of less than 512 tokens.
