Study Notes
- Natural Language Processing allows phone assistants to understand natural language commands without predefined instructions.
- The self-attention mechanism in NLP, particularly in the BERT model, helps extract precise meaning from text sequences through vector operations.
- Text processing involves tokenization where words are split into tokens, and each token is associated with an embedding vector.
- Embeddings contain information about the meaning of tokens and can be manipulated through mathematical operations.
- Attention mechanism, specifically scaled dot-product self-attention in BERT, analyzes the sequence of tokens to contextualize embeddings based on relationships between tokens.
- Attention involves calculating scalar products, scaling values, applying softmax function, and creating new contextualized embeddings for each token.
- Key, Query, and Value vectors are created through linear projections of input embeddings to focus on different semantic aspects, allowing for multi-head attention in BERT with 12 heads.
- Positional embeddings provide information about the position in the sequence, enhancing attention's ability to understand relationships based on token order.
- Applying attention multiple times with different projections and non-linear transformations through the softmax function helps BERT achieve complex language tasks efficiently.
- BERT uses 12 layers of attention with different projections to generate contextualized embeddings for each token, enabling precise understanding of user queries and context.
