MLG 033 Transformers
Machine Learning Guide
Try a walking desk while studying ML or working on your projects! Show notes: 3Blue1Brown videos: Background & Motivation: RNN Limitations: Sequential processing prevents full parallelization—even with attention tweaks—making them inefficient on modern hardware. Breakthrough: “Attention Is All You Need” replaced recurrence with self-attention, unlocking massive parallelism and scalability. Core Architecture: Layer Stack: Consists of alternating self-attention and feed-forward (MLP) layers, each wrapped in residual connections and layer normalization. Positional...
