// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
BERT
BERT is a widely used AI model that understands language by looking at words in relation to all other words in a sentence, rather than one by one.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) is a pre-trained Transformer-based language model developed by Google, designed to learn deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
