transformer’s sinusoidal positional encodings, allowing us to instead use a novel positional encoding scheme to represent node positions within trees. We evalu-ated our model in tree-to-tree program translation and sequence-to-tree semantic parsing settings, achieving superior performance over both sequence-to-sequence
What a positional encoder does is to get help of the cyclic nature of sin(x) and cos(x) functions to return information of the position of a word in a sentence.
A positional encoding is a finite dimensional representation of the location or “position” of items in a sequence. Given some sequence A = [a_0, …, a_{n-1}], ...
13.05.2021 · Positional embeddings are there to give a transformer knowledge about the position of the input vectors. They are added (not concatenated) to corresponding input vectors. Encoding depends on three values: pos — position of the vector i — index within the vector d_ {model} — dimension of the input
23.11.2020 · Positional Encoding Unlike sequential algorithms like `RNN`s and `LSTM`, transformers don’t have a mechanism built in to capture the relative positions of words in a sentence. This is important...
Positional encoding is a re-representation of the values of a word and its position in a sentence (given that is not the same to be at the beginning that at the end or middle).
Linear Relationships in the Transformer’s Positional Encoding In June 2017, Vaswani et al. published the paper “Attention Is All You Need” describing the “Transformer” architecture, which is a purely attention based sequence to sequence model. It can be applied to many tasks, such as language translation and text summarization.
