UltraBERT Jev 380M (sqrt-softplus)
Fine-tuned UltraBERT-380M decision model on Hugging Face that reads a state, question, and option list and picks one option in a single forward pass. Scores options with a square-root softplus of yes minus no, normalized over options; 73.2% dev and 71.9% test accuracy over 13 datasets.

Highlights
- Reads a state, a question, and a list of options, then picks one option in a single forward pass without generating text.
- Option k is scored from masked-token logits as square-root softplus of " yes" minus " no", divided by the sum over options.
- Trained for one epoch at batch 32 and learning rate 1.5e-5 on the 13-dataset Reason+Long mixture with Nimble added.
- Reports 73.2% mean accuracy on the dev split and 71.9% on the test split across 13 datasets.
- Requires fp32 weights; bf16 changed accuracy by up to 8 points on long documents (MuSiQue) in the authors' tests.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Use transformers with AutoTokenizer and AutoModelForMaskedLM on the repo Athekunal/ultrabert-jev-380m-sqrt-softplus, load the weights in fp32 with dtype=torch.float32, move the model to CUDA, and call eval(). It was tested with transformers 5.20.2 and torch 2.9.
The masked-token logits are large, around 200, and bf16 weights changed accuracy by up to 8 points on long documents (MuSiQue) in the authors' tests. All reported numbers use fp32 weights.
No. The model was trained on a specific prompt format using the tokens " yes" and " no"; plain fill-mask use will not give the reported results. The model card's prompt must be used exactly.
No. The base repo's remote code names the weights differently and would leave them unloaded. The UltraBERT model class is included in transformers 5.20.2 and torch 2.9.
73.2% mean accuracy on the dev split and 71.9% on the test split, averaged over the 13 datasets of the Reason+Long mixture.
Apache-2.0, fine-tuned from dmis-lab/UltraBERT-380M, with 429,966,336 F32 parameters stored in a single unsharded safetensors file.
It is an English encoder decision model, not a generator: it produces no text and expects the exact trained prompt format. For other languages or free-form output, another resource is needed.
