The mask token in BERT is a special token used to replace a certain percentage of words in the input text during the pre-training phase. This strategy aims to help the model learn to infer the masked words based on the context, thus improving its performance on downstream tasks. Typically, 15% of the tokens are chosen for masking, with 80% of those replaced by the [MASK] token, 10% replaced by random tokens, and the remaining 10% kept unchanged.
