Transformer Model
What is Transformer Model?
A transformer model is a type of AI architecture that processes information by paying attention to different parts of the input simultaneously. It revolutionized AI by handling text, images, and other data more efficiently than previous methods. This approach enables modern AI systems to understand context and generate human-like responses.
Technical Details
Uses self-attention mechanisms to weigh the importance of different input elements, eliminating the need for recurrent or convolutional layers. Built on encoder-decoder architecture with multi-head attention and positional encoding.
Real-World Example
ChatGPT uses transformer architecture to understand your questions and generate coherent responses by analyzing the relationships between all words in your input simultaneously.
