BERT can recover 15% of masked tokens (&amp;quot;noise&amp;quot;), but why stop here. Let&amp;#x27;s train a model to recover texts with 30%, 50%, 90%, 100% of masked tokens. &amp;gt; Once you&amp;#x27;ve trained that, in order to generate something from scratch, you start by feeding the model all [MASK]s. It will generate you mostly gibberish, but you can take some tokens (let&amp;#x27;s say, 10%) at random positions and assume that these tokens are generated (&amp;quot;final&amp;quot;) This is clearly wrong. If you actually froze 10% of gibberish tokens, your output would be terrible!
