Understanding Transformer Models: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Transformer Models: A Comprehensive Guide

Author: Chen Zhi Yan This article is approximately 3500 words long and is recommended for a 7-minute read. The Transformer is the first model that completely relies on the self-attention mechanism to compute its input and output representations. The mainstream sequence-to-sequence models are based on encoder-decoder recurrent or convolutional neural networks. The introduction of the … Read more

Lecture 47: Attention Mechanism and Machine Translation in Deep Learning

Lecture 47: Attention Mechanism and Machine Translation in Deep Learning

In the previous lecture, we discussed the seq2seq model. Although the seq2seq model is powerful, its effectiveness can be significantly reduced if used in isolation. This section introduces the attention model, which simulates the human attention intuition within the encoder-decoder framework. Principle of Attention Mechanism The attention mechanism in the human brain is essentially a … Read more

Attention Mechanism in Machine Translation

Attention Mechanism in Machine Translation

In the previous article, we learned about the basic seq2seq model, which processes the input sequence through an encoder, passes the calculated hidden state to a decoder, and then decodes it to obtain the output sequence. The block diagram is shown again below: The basic seq2seq model is quite effective for short and medium-length sentences … Read more
