Transformers

Transformers are a type of neural network architecture that rely on attention mechanisms to weigh the importance of different parts of the input data. Unlike recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that process data sequentially, transformers can process the entire input at once, allowing for parallelization and capturing long-range dependencies more effectively. This architecture is particularly well-suited for tasks involving sequential data, such as natural language processing, where understanding the context of words within a sentence is crucial.
