Transformer (machine learning model) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Transformer_(machineA transformer is a deep learning model that adopts the mechanism of self-attention, differentially weighting the significance of each part of the input data. It is used primarily in the fields of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. Like recurrent neural networks, transformers are designed to handle sequential input data, such as natural language, for tasks such as translation and text summarization. However, unlike RNNs, transformers do not necessarily process the data in orde
