BERT was evaluated on the SQuAD benchmark (reading comprehension) and SWAG benchmark (commonsense inference)
Summary
BERT's performance was measured in two distinct areas: pulling answers out of a passage it reads, and making everyday logical inferences about real-world situations. This gives us a concrete, documented baseline of what BERT can and cannot do in reading comprehension and commonsense reasoning, which anchors any later claims about its capabilities or limitations.
