124
+ ## Quickstart: Masked Language Modeling
125
+
126
+ Predict missing words in sentences with masked language modeling:
127
+
128
+ ```python
129
+ from transformers import pipeline
130
+
131
+ # Initialize pipeline
132
+ mlm_pipeline = pipeline("fill-mask", model="boltuix/bert-mini")
133
+
134
+ # Test example
135
+ result = mlm_pipeline("She wore a beautiful [MASK] to the party.")
136
+ print(result[0]["sequence"]) # Example output: "She wore a beautiful dress to the party."
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ ## Quickstart: Text Classification
140
+
141
+ Perform intent detection or text classification for IoT commands:
142
+
143
+ ```python
144
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
145
+ import torch
146
+
147
+ # Load tokenizer and classification model
148
+ model_name = "boltuix/bert-mini"
149
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
150
+ model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
151
+ model.eval()
152
+
153
+ # Example input
154
+ text = "Turn off the fan"
155
+
156
+ # Tokenize the input
157
+ inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
158
+
159
+ # Get prediction
160
+ with torch.no_grad():
161
+ outputs = model(**inputs)
162
+ probs = torch.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=1)
163
+ pred = torch.argmax(probs, dim=1).item()
164
+
165
+ # Define labels
166
+ labels = ["OFF", "ON"]
167
+
168
+ # Print result
169
+ print(f"Text: {text}")
170
+ print(f"Predicted intent: {labels[pred]} (Confidence: {probs[0][pred]:.4f})")
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ **Output**:
174
+ ```plaintext
175
+ Text: Turn off the fan
176
+ Predicted intent: OFF (Confidence: 0.5328)
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ *Note*: Fine-tune the model for specific classification tasks to improve accuracy.
180
+
181
+ ## Evaluation
182
+
183
+ `bert-mini` was evaluated on a masked language modeling task using five sentences covering diverse contexts. The model predicts the top-5 tokens for each masked word, and a test passes if the expected word is in the top-5 predictions, with the rank of the expected word reported.

277
+
278
+ | Metric | Value (Approx.) |
279
+ |------------|-----------------------|
280
+ | ✅ Accuracy | ~90–95% of BERT-base |
281
+ | 🎯 F1 Score | Balanced for MLM/NER tasks |
282
+ | ⚡ Latency | <30ms on Raspberry Pi |

285
+ *Note*: Metrics vary based on hardware (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4, Android devices) and fine-tuning. Test on your target device for accurate results.
286
+
287
+ ## Use Cases
288
+
289
+ `bert-mini` is designed for **edge and IoT scenarios** with constrained compute and connectivity. Key applications include:
290
+
291
+ - **Smart Home Devices**: Parse commands like “Turn [MASK] the light” (predicts “on” or “off”).
292
+ - **IoT Sensors**: Interpret sensor contexts, e.g., “The [MASK] barked loudly” (predicts “dog” for security alerts).
293
+ - **Wearables**: Real-time intent detection, e.g., “She wore a beautiful [MASK]” (predicts “dress” for fashion apps).
294
+ - **Mobile Apps**: Offline chatbots or semantic search, e.g., “The train arrived at the [MASK]” (predicts “station”).
295
+ - **Voice Assistants**: Local command parsing, e.g., “He used a [MASK] to hammer” (predicts “hammer”).
296
+ - **Toy Robotics**: Lightweight command understanding for interactive toys.
297
+ - **Fitness Trackers**: Local text feedback processing, e.g., sentiment analysis.
298
+ - **Car Assistants**: Offline command disambiguation without cloud APIs.
299
+
300
+ ## Hardware Requirements
301
+
302
+ - **Processors**: CPUs, mobile NPUs, or microcontrollers (e.g., ESP32, Raspberry Pi)
303
+ - **Storage**: ~15MB for model weights (quantized for reduced footprint)
304
+ - **Memory**: ~60MB RAM for inference
305
+ - **Environment**: Offline or low-connectivity settings
306
+
307
+ Quantization ensures efficient memory usage, making it suitable for microcontrollers.
308
+
309
+ ## Trained On
310
+
311
+ - **Custom Dataset**: Curated data focused on general and IoT-related contexts (sourced from custom-dataset). This enhances performance on tasks like command parsing and contextual understanding.
312
+
313
+ Fine-tuning on domain-specific data is recommended for optimal results.
314
+
315
+ ## Fine-Tuning Guide
316
+
317
+ To adapt `bert-mini` for custom tasks (e.g., specific IoT commands):
318
+
319
+ 1. **Prepare Dataset**: Collect labeled data (e.g., commands with intents or masked sentences).
320
+ 2. **Fine-Tune with Hugging Face**:
