Welcome to the special winter vacation column “High-Tech Lessons for Kids” brought to you by Science Popularization China!
Artificial intelligence, as one of the most cutting-edge technologies today, is changing our lives at an astonishing speed. From smart voice assistants to self-driving cars, from AI painting to machine learning, it opens up a future full of infinite possibilities. This column will explain the principles, applications, and profound impact of artificial intelligence on society to children in an easy-to-understand way through videos and text.
Let’s embark on this AI journey together!
First, let’s watch the video:

Transformer
The Transformer model is a deep learning model that incorporates the “attention mechanism,” and it is applied in various models including GPT and BERT.
Simply put, the Transformer model can mimic the way humans read information and analyze content.
When we read, we quickly skim over unimportant information and pause to think about important information. The attention mechanism in the Transformer allows the model to focus on key information, thereby better understanding the text we input.
Furthermore, the Transformer can process information in parallel; if there is a long paragraph, it may divide it into multiple parts and read them in parallel instead of reading sequentially from start to finish, which can accelerate model training.
The Transformer has been very successful in natural language processing. With the help of the Transformer model, chat applications like ChatGPT can better understand what we say and generate corresponding responses.
