general, here’s an overview of the key components and their functions:

### Key Components of Transformers:

1. **Input Embedding:**

- Converts input tokens (words or subwords) into dense vectors of fixed


size.

- Adds positional encoding to the input embeddings to retain the order of


the tokens.

2. **Encoder:**

- Consists of multiple identical layers, each with two sub-layers:

- **Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanism:** Allows the model to focus on


different parts of the input sequence.

- **Feed-Forward Neural Network:** Processes the output from the


attention mechanism.

3. **Decoder:**

- Also consists of multiple identical layers, with an additional third sub-


layer:

- **Masked Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanism:** Prevents attending to


future tokens in the sequence.

- **Multi-Head Attention over Encoder Output:** Allows the decoder to


focus on relevant parts of the encoder’s output.

- **Feed-Forward Neural Network:** Processes the combined information


from the attention mechanisms.

4. **Attention Mechanisms:**

- **Self-Attention:** Computes a representation of the input sequence by


relating different positions of the sequence to each other.
- **Multi-Head Attention:** Improves the learning process by projecting the
queries, keys, and values multiple times with different learned projections.

5. **Positional Encoding:**

- Adds information about the relative or absolute position of the tokens in


the sequence, as the model has no inherent sense of order.

6. **Feed-Forward Neural Networks:**

- Applied to each position separately and identically. Consists of two linear


transformations with a ReLU activation in between.

7. **Layer Normalization:**

- Normalizes the output of the previous sub-layer to stabilize and


accelerate training.

8. **Residual Connections:**

- Adds the input of each sub-layer to its output, aiding in gradient flow
during backpropagation.

9. **Output Embedding:**

- Converts the final decoder outputs into a probability distribution over the
vocabulary using a softmax layer.

### Functions of Key Components:

1. **Input Embedding & Positional Encoding:**

- Represents the input tokens in a dense vector space and incorporates the
sequence order.
2. **Encoder:**

- Encodes the entire input sequence into a continuous representation,


capturing contextual information.

3. **Decoder:**

- Generates the output sequence by predicting the next token at each step,
using both the encoder’s output and the previously generated tokens.

4. **Attention Mechanisms:**

- Allow the model to focus on different parts of the input sequence or


intermediate representations, facilitating context-aware processing.

5. **Feed-Forward Neural Networks:**

- Apply non-linear transformations to learn complex patterns in the data.

6. **Layer Normalization & Residual Connections:**

- Ensure stable and efficient training by normalizing activations and


facilitating gradient flow.

Transformers are widely used in NLP tasks such as machine translation, text
summarization, and language modeling due to their ability to handle long-
range dependencies and parallelize training efficiently.
