BERT's bidirectional training allows it to predict words based on the context of both preceding and following words simultaneously.
BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) was developed by Google in 2018 to capture bidirectional context in language. Unlike traditional left-to-right or right-to-left models, BERT processes text simultaneously in both directions using transformer encoders. This allows the model to understand subtle word dependencies, disambiguate meanings, and improve performance on downstream NLP tasks such as question answering, named entity recognition, and sentiment analysis.

Bidirectional understanding improved accuracy across a wide range of natural language processing applications. Search engines, chatbots, and AI assistants benefited from more context-aware interpretations of queries and commands, enhancing user experience and comprehension.
For users, BERT enables AI systems to interpret ambiguous language more accurately. The irony is that despite being statistical and non-conscious, BERT captures context in a way that mimics human-like understanding.
