Краткий справочник про внимания (self-attention, cross-attention, multi-head attention)

Он работает через вычисление весов важности для разных элементов входа: более важные элементы получают больший вес, а менее важные - меньший. Затем модель формирует взвешенную сумму представлений, создавая новый контекстный вектор.Self-attention, в свою очередь, помогает модели понимать, как разные элементы входных данных свя Read more
