What it does This repo is a complete Chinese translation of the original 2018 BERT paper (Devlin et al.), plus a curated link list for every single citation in the paper. The translator also provides a PDF version and a QR code for mobile reading.

The interesting bit Most paper translations dump the text and run. This one maps every “Peters et al., 2018” to its actual arXiv URL or blog post, sorted by the section where it appears. It’s a bibliography with the translation attached, not the other way around.

Key highlights

• Full translation of the November 2018 v1 paper (not the May 2019 v2 revision)
• Reference table per section: Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, etc.
• PDF download and mobile-friendly QR code included
• Figures 1 and 2 preserved with Chinese captions comparing BERT, GPT, and ELMo architectures
• Translator plans to continue NLP paper translations

Caveats

• Based on the older v1 paper; the README notes v2 has “slight differences” but doesn’t detail what they are
• No code, no implementation, just the translation and links

Verdict Worth bookmarking if you read Chinese and want to understand BERT’s original argument without switching between PDF and browser tabs. Skip it if you already own the paper by heart or need working code.
