Ashish Vaswani et. al. introduce Transformers and Attention in this classic 2017 paper.
The Transformer architecture relies solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely for sequence transduction tasks. This new network design improves translation quality while being more parallelizable and significantly faster to train than previous models.
- Achieved 28.4 BLEU on the WMT 2014 English-to-German translation task.
- Reached a state-of-the-art score of 41.8 BLEU for English-to-French using eight GPUs in only 3.5 days.
- Demonstrates successful application to English constituency parsing with both large and limited training data sets.

This article details the often overlooked cost of storing embeddings for RAG systems, and how quantization techniques (int8 and binary) can significantly reduce storage requirements and improve retrieval speed without substantial accuracy loss.
This article provides a comprehensive guide on the basics of BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) models. It covers the architecture, use cases, and practical implementations, helping readers understand how to leverage BERT for natural language processing tasks.
This article explains BERT, a language model designed to understand text rather than generate it. It discusses the transformer architecture BERT is based on and provides a step-by-step guide to building and training a BERT model for sentiment analysis.
This tutorial covers fine-tuning BERT for sentiment analysis using Hugging Face Transformers. Learn to prepare data, set up environment, train and evaluate the model, and make predictions.
