+# Bert benchmark
+
+## MLCube execution
+
+### Project setup
+```Python
+# Create Python environment and install MLCube Docker runner
+virtualenv -p python3 ./env && source ./env/bin/activate && pip install mlcube-docker
+```
+
+## Clone Training repo and go to Bert directory
+```
+git clone https://github.com/mlcommons/training.git && cd ./training
+git fetch origin pull/503/head:feature/bert_mlcube && git checkout feature/bert_mlcube
+cd ./language_model/tensorflow
+```
+
+## Run Bert MLCube on a local machine with Docker runner
+
+```bash
+# Run Bert tasks: download, extract, preprocess, generate_tfrecords and train
+mlcube run --task download
+mlcube run --task extract
+mlcube run --task preprocess
+mlcube run --task generate_tfrecords
+mlcube run --task train
+```
+
+We are targeting pull-type installation, so MLCubes should be available on docker hub. If not, try this:
+
+```bash
+mlcube run ... -Pdocker.build_strategy=auto
+```
+
+Also, users can override the workspace directory by using:
+
+```bash
+mlcube run --task=download --workspace=absolute_path_to_custom_dir
+```
+
+We are targeting pull-type installation, so MLCube images should be available on docker hub. If not, try this:
+
+```bash
+mlcube run ... -Pdocker.build_strategy=always
+```
