Multi-Head Attention and Self-Attention of Transformers

  Transformer Architecture Multi-Head Attention and Self-Attention are key components of the Transformer architecture, introduced in the paper "Attention Is All You Need" by Vaswani et al. in 2017. Self-Attention (or Intrusive Attention) Self-Attention is a mechanism that allows the model to attend to different parts of the input sequence simultaneously and weigh their importance. It's called "self" because the attention is applied to the input sequence itself, rather than to some external context. Given an input sequence of tokens (e.g., words or characters), the Self-Attention mechanism computes the representation of each token in the sequence by attending to all other tokens. This is done by: Query (Q): The input sequence is linearly transformed into a query matrix. Key (K): The input sequence is linearly transformed into a key matrix. Value (V): The input sequence is linearly transformed into a value matrix. Compute Attention Weights: The dot product of Q an...

CNN, RNN & Transformers

Let's first see what are the most popular deep learning models.  Deep Learning Models Deep learning models are a subset of machine learning algorithms that utilize artificial neural networks to analyze complex patterns in data. Inspired by the human brain's neural structure, these models comprise multiple layers of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transform inputs into meaningful representations. Deep learning has revolutionized various domains, including computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and recommender systems, due to its ability to learn hierarchical representations, capture non-linear relationships, and generalize well to unseen data. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) The emergence of CNNs and RNNs marked significant milestones in deep learning's evolution. CNNs, introduced in the 1980s, excel at image and signal processing tasks, leveraging convolutional and pooling layers to extract...

LSTM and GRU

  Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks LSTMs are a type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) designed to handle sequential data with long-term dependencies. Key Features: Cell State: Preserves information over long periods. Gates: Control information flow (input, output, and forget gates). Hidden State: Temporary memory for short-term information. Related Technologies: Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): Basic architecture for sequential data. Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs): Simplified version of LSTMs. Bidirectional RNNs/LSTMs: Process input sequences in both directions. Encoder-Decoder Architecture: Used for sequence-to-sequence tasks. Real-World Applications: Language Translation Speech Recognition Text Generation Time Series Forecasting GRUs are an alternative to LSTMs, designed to be faster and more efficient while still capturing long-term dependencies. Key Differences from LSTMs: Simplified Architecture: Fewer gates (update and reset) and fewer state vectors. Faster Computation: ...

Federated Learning with IoT

  Federated learning is a machine learning technique that allows multiple devices or clients to collaboratively train a shared model without sharing their raw data. This approach helps to preserve data privacy while still enabling the development of accurate and robust machine learning models. How Google uses federated learning: Google has been a pioneer in the development and application of federated learning. Here are some key examples of how they use it: Gboard: Google's keyboard app uses federated learning to improve next-word prediction and autocorrect suggestions. By analyzing the typing patterns of millions of users on their devices, Gboard can learn new words and phrases without ever accessing the raw text data. Google Assistant: Federated learning is used to enhance Google Assistant's understanding of natural language and improve its ability to perform tasks like setting alarms, playing music, and answering questions. Pixel phones: Google uses federated learning...
