attention transformers

Attention transformers are a revolutionary architecture in machine learning, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). They utilize an attention mechanism that allows the model to weigh the importance of different words in a sentence, enabling it to understand context more effectively. This is a significant advancement over previous models like RNNs and LSTMs, which processed data sequentially and had limitations in capturing long-range dependencies.

The core component of transformers is the multi-head attention mechanism. This allows the model to focus on various parts of the input simultaneously, enhancing its ability to learn complex relationships within the data. Each attention head operates independently, generating its own set of outputs, which are then concatenated to form a comprehensive representation of the input 24.

Transformers have become the foundation for many state-of-the-art models, including BERT and GPT, and are widely used in applications such as machine translation, chatbots, and search engines 5. Their ability to process data in parallel makes them highly efficient and scalable.
