Transformers and Attention Mechanisms

A course by
April, 2025 5 lessons English

In this module, you will explore key concepts of the transformer architecture, embeddings, attention mechanisms, and tokenization. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of semantic similarity and how it is calculated using techniques like dot product and cosine similarity. The module also includes hands-on exercises to help you apply the concepts learned to real-world scenarios.

What you'll learn

  • ⁠Understand the fundamentals of the transformer architecture and how it is used in modern LLMs.
  • Analyze the role of embeddings, attention, and self-attention mechanisms in processing and generating text.
  • Learn tokenization techniques and their importance in preparing text data for transformer models.
  • Evaluate methods for calculating semantic similarity, such as dot product and cosine similarity, in transformer models.
