Transformer Algorithm Presentation

Introduction to Transformer Algorithm
The Transformer Algorithm is a popular machine learning model architecture. It was introduced by Vaswani et al. in 2017 and has since become widely adopted. The Transformer Algorithm is based on the concept of self-attention.	Image Source

Key Components of the Transformer Algorithm
The Transformer Algorithm consists of an encoder and a decoder. The encoder processes the input sequence and generates a set of hidden representations. The decoder takes these hidden representations and generates the output sequence.	Image Source

Self-Attention Mechanism
Self-attention allows the Transformer Algorithm to weigh the importance of different input elements when generating output. It captures dependencies between words in a sentence, regardless of their position. Self-attention enables the model to focus on relevant parts of the input sequence.	Image Source

Multi-Head Attention
Multi-head attention is a variant of self-attention used in the Transformer Algorithm. It consists of multiple sets of attention weights, called attention heads. Each attention head attends to different parts of the input sequence, providing more diverse and comprehensive information.	Image Source

Positional Encoding
Positional encoding is used to capture the order or position of words in a sentence. It is added to the input embeddings to provide the model with positional information. Positional encoding helps the Transformer Algorithm handle sequences of variable length.	Image Source

Feed-Forward Neural Networks
The Transformer Algorithm employs feed-forward neural networks as part of its encoder and decoder. These networks consist of multiple layers of fully connected linear and activation functions. Feed-forward networks help capture complex patterns and relationships in the data.	Image Source
