UltraBERT Jev 380M Softmax Yes/No
A Hugging Face checkpoint that fine-tunes UltraBERT-380M into a Jev-style decision model: it reads a state, a question and a list of options and picks one in a single forward pass. Reports 72.6% mean accuracy over 13 datasets on the test split.

Highlights
- Reads a state, a question and a list of options, then picks one option in a single forward pass without generating text.
- Fine-tuned from dmis-lab/UltraBERT-380M with one mask token placed in front of each option.
- Reports 72.8% mean accuracy on the dev split and 72.6% on the test split across 13 datasets.
- Trained for one epoch at batch 32 and learning rate 1.5e-5 on the Reason+Long mixture with Nimble added.
- Requires fp32 weights; bf16 changed accuracy by up to 8 points on long documents in MuSiQue.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Use transformers with AutoTokenizer and AutoModelForMaskedLM from the repo Athekunal/ultrabert-jev-380m-softmax-yesno, loading the weights in fp32 and calling model.to('cuda').eval(). The model card states it was tested with transformers 5.20.2 and torch 2.9, which include the UltraBERT model class.
It picks one option from a supplied list in a single forward pass and does not generate text. Option k is scored from the masked-token logits at its own mask, using a recipe of softmax over ' yes' minus ' no'.
The masked-token logits are large, around 200, and the model card reports that bf16 weights changed accuracy by up to 8 points on long documents in MuSiQue. All reported numbers use fp32 weights.
No. The model card warns that the base repo's remote code names the weights differently and would leave them unloaded, so the checkpoint should be loaded without trust_remote_code=True.
The model card reports 72.8% mean accuracy on the dev split and 72.6% on the test split, averaged over 13 datasets.
The checkpoint is released under apache-2.0 and is a fine-tune of dmis-lab/UltraBERT-380M. It is tagged as a decision-model, multiple-choice encoder for English.
No. The model was trained on a specific prompt format using the tokens ' yes' and ' no', and the card states that plain fill-mask use will not give the reported results. The prompt must be used exactly as documented.
