Slide 7 - Attention Mechanism

The Attention Mechanism slide explains self-attention, which computes relevance among all elements in a sequence, and multi-head attention, which uses parallel layers to capture diverse representations. It highlights the scaled dot-product approach for weighting importance based on query-key similarity, along with key benefits like high parallelizability and effective handling of long-range context.

Attention Mechanism

  • Self-attention computes relevance between all sequence elements
  • Multi-head attention enables parallel layers for diverse representations
  • Scaled dot-product weights importance using query-key similarity formula

Slide 10 - Training Process

The training process timeline begins with pre-training on massive corpora through unsupervised learning to build general language representations, followed by fine-tuning for specific tasks like classification or generation using supervised adaptation. It concludes with optimization via the AdamW optimizer and gradient clipping for stability, and evaluation using metrics such as perplexity for fluency and BLEU for quality, which requires substantial compute resources like GPUs or TPUs.

Training Process

Step 1: Pre-training on Massive Corpora Unsupervised learning on vast text datasets to acquire general language representations and patterns.
