# BertGeneration
[BertGeneration](https://huggingface.co/papers/1907.12461) leverages pre-trained BERT checkpoints for sequence-to-sequence tasks using an EncoderDecoderModel framework. This approach achieves state-of-the-art results in Machine Translation, Text Summarization, Sentence Splitting, and Sentence Fusion, demonstrating the utility of initializing both encoder and decoder with pre-trained models.

## Usage tips
- Use [`BertGenerationEncoder`] and [`BertGenerationDecoder`] with [`EncoderDecoderModel`] for sequence-to-sequence tasks.
- Summarization, sentence splitting, sentence fusion, and translation don't require special tokens in the input.
- Don't add `EOS` tokens to the end of inputs for most generation tasks.
