Study Notes

Deep Learning Recap

  • Deep learning models include Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Sequence to Sequence Models, and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
  • RNNs have limitations, such as long-term dependencies and gated cells, which can be addressed using attention mechanisms

Attention

  • Attention is a mechanism that allows models to focus on specific parts of the input data
  • There are two types of attention: cross-attention and self-attention
  • Attention can be used with RNNs to address limitations
  • Attention is All You Need: a paper that introduced the transformer architecture, which relies solely on attention mechanisms

Transformers

  • Transformers are a type of neural network architecture that uses self-attention mechanisms
  • Self-attention allows the model to weigh the importance of different input elements
  • Multi-head attention is a technique that allows the model to attend to different aspects of the input data
  • Masking is used to prevent the model from attending to certain input elements
  • Positional embeddings are used to encode the position of input elements
  • Residuals and normalization are techniques used to improve the stability and performance of the model

BERT

  • BERT is a pre-trained language model that uses transformers and attention mechanisms
  • Input representations include token embeddings, segment embeddings, and position embeddings
  • Pre-training tasks include masked language modeling and next sentence prediction
  • BERT can be fine-tuned for specific tasks, such as text classification and question-answering
  • Vision Transformers (ViTs) are a type of transformer architecture that can be used for computer vision tasks
