Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface microsoft/MASS, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

2 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Strengthen the README's opening sentence to explicitly state its NLP domain
Why:
CURRENT# MASS MASS: Masked Sequence to Sequence Pre-training for Language Generation, by Kaitao Song, Xu Tan, Tao Qin, Jianfeng Lu, Tie-Yan Liu, is a novel pre-training method for sequence to sequence based language generation tasks.
COPY-PASTE FIX# MASS This repository presents **MASS (Masked Sequence to Sequence Pre-training for Language Generation)**, a novel pre-training method for sequence-to-sequence based Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Developed by Kaitao Song, Xu Tan, Tao Qin, Jianfeng Lu, and Tie-Yan Liu, MASS randomly masks a sentence fragment in the encoder and predicts it in the decoder.
