Encoder in the Transformer model?
The article introduces the encoder in the Transformer model. The encoder converts tokens from a sentence into equivalent vectors, also known as hidden states or context. These vectors capture semantic information and relationships between tokens using techniques such as positional encoding, embedding matrix, and attention. The encoder consists of multiple building blocks, starting from a single encoder layer. Each encoder layer includes a multi-head attention block and a feed-forward network. The output of each encoder layer is used as input for the next encoder layer. Encoder layers have the same input and output dimensions. Each encoder layer has its own parameters such as weights and biases. Transformers typically have a stack of encoders, usually six encoder layers, although the number may vary depending on the specific architecture of the transformer. The transformer model processes a sentence by dividing it into tokens, converting them into embeddings, computing attention, and propagating through encoder layers.
Quantitative values and names of theories:
Positional encoding: Quantitative value: Positional encoding vectors are added to embeddings to encode the relative positions of tokens in a sentence. Advantages: Allows the model to know the relative positions of tokens in the sentence, helping the model understand the order of the sentence. Disadvantages: Does not represent information about the relative relationships between tokens. Suggested title: “Enhancing Sequence Representation with Positional Encoding”.
Multi-head attention: Quantitative value: A multi-head attention mechanism allows the model to focus on different parts of the input sentence. Advantages: Enables the model to learn complex relationships between tokens in the sentence. Disadvantages: Requires more computational resources compared to single-head attention. Suggested title: “Capturing Complex Relationships with Multi-head Attention Mechanism”.
Feed-forward network: Quantitative value: A feed-forward neural network with hidden layers helps the model learn complex representations of tokens. Advantages: Flexible and capable of learning complex representations. Disadvantages: Lacks the ability to reuse information between tokens. Suggested title: “Learning Complex Representations with Feed-forward Networks”.
