#48 - Attention is all you need. Understanding Transformers.
from Life with AI · host Filipe Lauar
Hey guys, in this episode I finally explain the Transformers network architecture! The paper Attention is all you need proposed the Transformer network and it was groundbreaking for firstly NLP field and now for all the Deep Learning fields. In the episode I explain the attention, the self-attention and the multi-head attention mechanisms for both Transformers encoder and Decoder, and also the positional encoding. Go listen to this episode because it's probably my best technical episode!
