Quiz: BERT & GPT Transformer Models Q&A

interview questions

Are you fascinated by the world of natural language processing and the cutting-edge generative AI models that have revolutionized the way machines understand human language? Two such large language models (LLMs), BERT and GPT, stand as pillars in the field, each with unique architectures and capabilities. But how well do you know these models? In this quiz blog, we will challenge your knowledge and understanding of these two groundbreaking technologies. Before you dive into the quiz, let’s explore an overview of BERT and GPT.

BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)

BERT is known for its bidirectional processing of text, allowing it to capture context from both sides of a word within a sentence. Built on the Transformer architecture, BERT utilizes only the encoder part, consisting of multiple layers of multi-head self-attention mechanisms. Pre-trained on extensive text corpora like the Toronto BookCorpus and English Wikipedia, BERT has become a versatile tool for various natural language processing tasks, from question answering to sentiment analysis.

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)

GPT, on the other hand, focuses on the unidirectional processing of text, predicting the next word in a sequence. GPT’s architecture is based on the Transformer’s decoder part, with several levels of multi-head self-attention. Pre-trained on a vast corpus like the BookCorpus, GPT has been implemented in various versions, each with increased complexity and capabilities. Its ability to generate coherent and contextually relevant text has made it a popular choice for text generation, translation, and more.
