Transformer

The Transformer is a neural network architecture that uses self-attention rather than recurrent layers. It was introduced in 2017 for machine translation. The main component of the Transformer is the attention mechanism. Transformers are primarily used for text classification. The self-attention mechanism allows the Transformer to capture dependencies between all elements in the input sequence at once, rather than just neighboring elements as in RNNs. This helps address the vanishing gradient problem in RNNs.

Question 2 - What is the difference between the Transformer and traditional sequence-to-sequence
models such as RNNs? How does the self-attention mechanism in the Transformer help address the
vanishing gradient problem encountered by RNNs?

Ans. The Transformer is a type of neural network architecture that was introduced in 2017 for the task
of machine translation, while RNNs are a more traditional type of neural network commonly used for
sequence-to-sequence tasks such as language modeling, speech recognition, and machine translation.

The main difference between the Transformer and RNNs is in their approach to handling sequential
input. RNNs process sequences one element at a time, updating their hidden state at each step, while
the Transformer processes the entire sequence at once using self-attention.

In self-attention, each element in the input sequence attends to all other elements, and the resulting
weighted sum of the sequence elements is used to compute the output. This allows the Transformer to
capture dependencies between all pairs of elements in the input sequence, rather than just neighboring
pairs as in RNNs.

The self-attention mechanism in the Transformer helps address the vanishing gradient problem
encountered by RNNs because it enables direct connections between any two elements in the input
sequence. In contrast, RNNs rely on a chain of matrix multiplications to propagate information through
the sequence, and this can lead to vanishing gradients when the sequence is long. The self-attention
mechanism in the Transformer allows for more efficient gradient flow, which makes it easier for the
network to learn long-range dependencies.

In summary, the Transformer is a type of neural network that processes sequences using self-attention,
while RNNs process sequences one element at a time using a hidden state. The self-attention
mechanism in the Transformer helps address the vanishing gradient problem encountered by RNNs by
allowing for more efficient gradient flow through the network.
