Understanding Transformer Models in Natural Language Processing
The chapter provides a detailed explanation of transformer models in NLP, focusing on the process of encoding separate English and Spanish words, utilizing self-attention and cross-attention mechanisms to create context-rich vectors for translation. It discusses the differences between encoder-only architectures like BERT and encoder-decoder structures, emphasizing the benefits of using both encoder and decoder for tasks like text generation and classification. The conversation explores the efficiency of using a full transformer architecture with separate encoder and decoder for tasks like translation, highlighting the importance of masking in attention mechanisms for accurate predictions.
