-The BERT model has more capacity than the LSTM models used in the ULMFiT work, but the [BERT paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805) did not test finetuning using the pretraining objective and at the present stage there aren't many examples of this approach being used for Transformer-based language models. As such, it's hard to predict what effect this step will have on final model performance, but it's reasonable to conjecture that this approach can improve the final classification performance, especially when a large unlabelled corpus from the target domain is available, labelled data is limited, or the target domain is very unusual and different from 'normal' English text. If you are aware of any literature on this subject, please feel free to add it in here, or open an issue and tag me (@Rocketknight1) and I'll include it.
