NLP and Transformers
Introduction to
Transformers
Exploring the Need, Architecture, and Application of Transformer Models
Need for Transformers
 • Overcome the limitations of RNNs and LSTMs in handling long-range
dependencies.
 • Enable parallel processing for faster training and inference.
 • Address issues like the vanishing gradient problem.
 • Provide a scalable architecture for handling large datasets and complex
tasks.
Transformer Architecture
 • Self-Attention Mechanism: Allows the model to weigh the importance of
different parts of the input.
 • Multi-Head Attention: Captures various aspects of the relationships between
tokens.
 • Feed-Forward Neural Networks: Enhances features learned during attention.
 • Positional Encoding: Adds information about the order of tokens.
 • Encoder-Decoder Structure: Uses encoders to process input and decoders to
generate output.
Working of Transformers
 1. Tokenization: Breaking down input into tokens.
 2. Embedding: Converting tokens into vectors.
 3. Positional Encoding: Adding position information to embeddings.
 4. Self-Attention: Calculating relationships between tokens.
 5. Multi-Head Attention: Applying multiple attention mechanisms.
 6. Feed-Forward Networks: Processing token representations.
 7. Output Generation: Producing final output using softmax.
Problem Solving with Transformers
 • Step 1: Data Preprocessing - Tokenization, Stemming, Lemmatization.
 • Step 2: Embedding and Vectorization.
 • Step 3: Model Selection and Training.
 • Step 4: Fine-Tuning with Specific Datasets.
 • Step 5: Model Evaluation - Metrics like Accuracy, F1 Score, Precision, Recall.
 • Step 6: Interpretation of Results and Iterative Improvement.
Types of Transformer Models
 • BERT: Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers.
 • BART: Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformers.
 • T5: Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer.
 • Pegasus: Pre-training with Gap Sentence Generation.
 • LLaMA: Large Language Model Meta AI.
 • GPT: Generative Pre-trained Transformer.
 • Vicuna: Open-source fine-tuned version of LLaMA.
 • PHI-3 Vision: Vision-based Transformer model.
Comparison of Transformer Models
 • BERT: Great for understanding context; limited in generation tasks.
 • GPT: Excellent for text generation; lacks bidirectional context.
 • BART: Combines BERT and GPT benefits; suitable for text completion and
generation.
 • T5: Versatile, handles multiple NLP tasks; may require large datasets.
 • Pegasus: Specialized in summarization; highly effective but task-specific.
 • LLaMA: Efficient and accessible large language model; strong
generalization.
 • Vicuna: Enhanced for conversational tasks; based on LLaMA.
 • PHI-3 Vision: Tailored for vision tasks; effective in image recognition.
