+
git clone https://huggingface.co/boltuix/bert-mini
|
| 112 |
+
```
|
| 113 |
+
2. **Via Transformers Library**:
|
| 114 |
+
- Load the model directly in Python:
|
| 115 |
+
```python
|
| 116 |
+
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer
|
| 117 |
+
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("boltuix/bert-mini")
|
| 118 |
+
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("boltuix/bert-mini")
|
| 119 |
+
```
|
| 120 |
+
3. **Manual Download**:
|
| 121 |
+
- Download quantized model weights from the Hugging Face model hub.
|
| 122 |
+
- Extract and integrate into your edge/IoT application.
|
| 123 |
+
|
| 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 |

+
## 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**:
