Highlights
- Imagine you’re in school, and your teacher asks you and your friends to work on a group project. Each of you has a different set of skills, and you need to work together to complete the project successfully. In this analogy, the group project is like a sentence or a piece of text that a language model is trying to understand.
- Transformers are a type of model that helps computers understand and generate text, like in our group project.
- The key idea behind transformers is something called “attention.”
- Attention helps the model figure out which words in a sentence are the most important to focus on
- Instead of focusing on each word one at a time, transformers can look at all the words together, decide which ones are the most important, and use that information to understand the text better.
