Hi,  
I am using BertForPreTraining to pre-train a model from scratch, is there a way that the input for the model would be vectors to inputs\_embeds instead of tokens (input\_ids) , while still implementing masking tasks? How can I train a model on MLM without the option to use [MASK] token?  
Thanks,
