Encoders and Decoders in Transformer Models

This article is divided into three parts; they are: • Full Transformer Models: Encoder-Decoder Architecture • Encoder-Only Models • Decoder-Only Models The original transformer architecture, introduced in “Attention is All You Need,” combines an encoder and decoder specifically designed for sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) tasks like machine translation.

Building a Seq2Seq Model with Attention for Language Translation

This post is divided into four parts; they are: • Why Attnetion Matters: Limitations of Basic Seq2Seq Models • Implementing Seq2Seq Model with Attention • Training and Evaluating the Model • Using the Model Traditional seq2seq models use an encoder-decoder architecture where the encoder compresses the input sequence into a…

Efficient Sequence Modeling for On-Device ML

Posted by Arun Kandoor, Software Engineer, Google Research The increasing demand for machine learning (ML) model inference on-device (for mobile devices, tablets, etc.) is driven by the rise of compute-intensive applications, the need to keep certain data on device for privacy and security reasons, and the desire to provide services…
