Study Notes
Transformer Architecture
- The transformer architecture has an encoder and a decoder, each consisting of 6 identical layers.
- Each layer has two sub-layers: multi-head self-attention and a feed-forward neural network.
- The encoder takes in input embeddings and produces output embeddings.
- The decoder takes in output embeddings and produces probabilities.
Transformer Encoder
- The encoder has self-attention as its core building block.
- Self-attention allows each word in the input sequence to interact with every other word.
Impact of Transformers
- Transformers have revolutionized the field of NLP and ML, enabling significant progress in various tasks.
- The transformer architecture has led to the development of powerful models that can match or exceed human-level performance.
History of NLP Models
- Before transformers, recurrent models such as LSTMs were widely used in NLP tasks.
- Recurrent models were used for sequence-to-sequence problems and encoder-decoder models.
- The transformer architecture has replaced recurrent models as the de facto strategy in NLP.
Scaling Laws
- The performance of transformers improves smoothly as model size, training data, and compute resources increase.
- This power-law relationship has been observed over multiple orders of magnitude with no sign of slowing.
Drawbacks and Variants
- There are drawbacks and variants of transformers that will be discussed further.
