- **PII Pattern Detection**: Confirms email and phone number detection in text

#### 2. Dual-Task Dataset Tests

- **Dataset Creation**: Validates PyTorch Dataset implementation with correct tensor shapes
- **Tokenization**: Tests DistilBERT tokenizer integration with proper padding/truncation
- **Label Alignment**: Ensures category and PII labels align with tokenized sequences

#### 3. Dual-Task Loss Function Tests

- **Loss Initialization**: Validates weighted loss combining category and PII objectives
- **Loss Computation**: Tests gradient flow and loss calculation for both tasks
- **Padding Mask Handling**: Ensures padded tokens are properly ignored in PII loss

#### 4. Dual-Task Trainer Tests

- **Trainer Initialization**: Validates setup with proper data loaders and optimizers
- **Training Step**: Confirms model parameters update during training
- **Evaluation**: Tests validation metrics calculation (accuracy, F1-score)
- **Model Persistence**: Validates save/load functionality with state preservation

#### 5. Integration Tests

- **End-to-End Training**: Complete training pipeline with 2 epochs
- **Memory Efficiency**: Confirms dual-head architecture has reasonable parameter count (~67M)
