A post highlights a mathematical explanation of Transformers
The paper treats Transformer architecture as a discrete approximation of a continuous equation, according to a user’s summary, bringing attention and other components into one mathematical framework.
TLDR
A user shares “A Mathematical Explanation of Transformers,” describing a paper that connects the architecture behind large language models to a continuous equation. In the user’s account, the framework incorporates self-attention, layer normalization, feedforward layers and activation functions. The summary says the paper uses numerical methods to recover the standard Transformer architecture, then extends the framework to multi-head attention, Vision Transformers and convolutional Transformers.
