Dear Teacher Alammar , thanks to this video I was able to accepted into BYU lab as an external researcher (even though I didn’t finish college) and have been invited by my professor to participate with the lab in CASP15 . You really changed the course of my life by demystifying such complex topics for non traditional learners like me . I’m eternally in your debt
Jay, as a PhD student, I'm a fan of your ability to explain complex topics, in a very simple, illustrated and didactic way! I always recommend your ' illustrated' posts to my colleagues. Thanks again for this great video, keep up the good work!
I remember Seeing your Transformer's Blog Jay.. It was legendary!! Was referred to by other youtubers as well... And thanks a lot for the wonderful explanation as well!
you have a gift for explaining complex materials... many other technical talks assumes the audience is very knowledgeable and are attending the session just for networking
Thank you so much for all the tireless work you do for us visual learners out there! I’m looking forward to videos where you get into your excellent visualizations of the underlying matrix operations. Your visual abstractions both at the flow chart level and matrix/vector level have really shaped my mental model for what I think about when I’m engineering models. I’m so grateful and so excited to see what you come out with next (this library you hint at looks wonderful!)
Amazing explanation, my search to understand the transformers ended here, you done the wonderful job, thank you so much for the simplest explanation I ever seen.
Jay, recentemente estive em um curso de I.A, Mas voce apresentou muito bem, de forma didática a PNL.... eu aprendi muito com voce. Obrigado. Continue sendo este cara maravilhoso.
Outstanding job demystifying the inner working details of the Transformer model architecture! All the illustrations and animations for the inference working are awesome. Thank you for taking all the time and sharing your understanding with all of us. Kudos! 👍
You sir are an amazing teacher! I'm absolutely flabbergasted by how well you've explained, to think its all mathematics at the end of the day! Thank you for taking the time to put together such a concise yet complete guide to transformers!
i don't khnow how must say thank you, I just can say please continue uploading your amazing videos. I live in a constrained country and this video is my only hope for learning like other peoples. yours sincerely. Ramin Bakhtiyari.
Your blog was referred to me by my lecture Julia Kreutzer of Google Translate, it's just amazing piece of work. It has really helped me in my understanding of these concepts. Thanks.
I've ended up here to familiarize myself with NLP transformers. Your video was the optimal choice for me, as it' explains the concept in an understandable scientific manner. Thanks.
I’ve just read your “The illustrated transformer” article and I wanted to say that you made very smart and simple visual representations. It seems you put a lot of thought into that.
Amazing video. Have to admit that every time I heard the wrong pronunciation of "Shawshank" it did feel a bit like nails on a blackboard but easily forgivable. Jay, your resources and videos are phenomenal :) Thank you for putting in the work to help us all out.
@@arp_ai The "Shaw" is pronounced like "sure/shore" but in the video you use the vowel that's in "how/cow". Anyway, I only meant this as a tiny point :) Take home message is that you are an incredible ML / NLP teacher!!
You are a great teacher!!! If you chek the EQ settings and lower the music at the beginning the video is perfect!!! Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge in this very understandable way
Watching it now, thanks so much! It's really helpful to go through these kinds of things with clear examples and explanations. My only preference would've been to reduce the volume of the background music in the intro. So many podcasts do this and it's an annoying trend!
Thank you so much for you work on attention and transformers. Your posts and videos are the best i have encountered so far in terms of visualization and explanation. And you did it way better than my Professor. Again thank you :)
Thanks for creating this content. Your explanation is quite easy to follow, especially for someone like me who is just beginning to explore these areas of AI/ML.
This video really aged well. It came out just after GPT3 and before ChatGPT. I love it how it gives massive insights to how current generative AI works behind the scenes (but obviously in a simplified way).
I am trying to understand working of transformer, you explain it much accessible way. One small thing I wish the video had less of transitions between two cameras.
this is amazing. One thing I didn't understand is the matrix, how it is generated and used in the processing to return the probability (how "the" turns into a big array of inputs)
Thank you for your videos and blog posts. These were my inspiration to create a Java GPT-2 implementation for learning purposes. I can't use a link here, but as huplay I uploaded it to the biggest hosting site, and it is called gpt2-demo.
It's been my entire focus the last few months. Stay tuned!

Just a personal comment on the format of the videos: I, personally, find that constant change of scene (like in "The architecture of the transformer" section) where the camera changes constantly showing you and then showing the computer screen and then back to you, is extremely annoying. The content of the video itself was informative.
14:15 - so, the Self-Attention layer is actually the thing that’s trying to understand the meaning of the whole sequence? How does it work and how can it be trained? How long sequenced can it analyze?
6:13 actually, GPT-2 and GPT-3 models are both composed of an encoder-decoder architecture. The encoder-decoder architecture is a common framework used in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, particularly in sequence-to-sequence models. while GPT-2 and GPT-3 have an encoder component, it is not as prominently utilized as the decoder for generating text outputs.
Hi Sir, thank you for creating such a great video. I got a quick question here for you. Could you please tell me what's different a model with only Encoder, Decoder, or both? Thanks in advance.
15:30 - when it was trained on the huge texts, how did they decide how to tokenize is? Is it based on some linguistic objects? Syllables?
3 ปีที่แล้ว
if you're using pre-trained word embeddings , you have to tokenize it in the exact fashion the so-called word embedding was tokenized. Other than that , if you won't use pre-trained embeddings (which is usually not the case), you can just keep going over the entire corpus and create a list of distinct words or n-grams or whatever way you have chosen to define a token.
@ letters are numbers too. Again, I asked why not to use letters? When words are separated onto other constructs instead - what are they from a linguist point of view?
Thank you for the great explaination. I am new to this topic, and I wonder why the "shawshank" word is tokenized into 3 pieces, the "sh" and "ank" are meaningless, is it a result of a learned model? Or the tokenization is done hand-crafted? Thanks in advance.
Your blog on Illustrated Transformer was my intro to Deep Learning with NLP. Thanks for the amazing contributions for the community.
Yeah it is being referenced in my DL class too. Truly great content for new learners!
@@jc_777 Gemini also refers Mr Alammar's blog post👍

The Illustrated Transformer blog is a masterpiece!
Your ability to explain and breakdown complex topics into simpler and intuitive sections is legendary. Thank you for your contribution!
Never been more excited by a TH-camr channel than when I saw this guy had a channel.

It would nice to have a step by step walkthrough of the training process. And why each of those steps makes sense intuitively.
Im doing a Twitter sentiment analysis and i couldn't wrap my head around BERT and i came across this video. Perfectly explained. Thanks alot

One of the most comprehensive video and blog overviews of Transformers I've seen. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for this great explanation. Visualize , visualize, visualize, the best way to undestand how it works.
I've ended up here to familiarize myself with NLP transformers. Your video was the optimal choice for me, as it' explains the concept in an understandable scientific manner. Thanks.
Jay, many thanks for your work. These videos help me a lot to understand key concepts in NLP domain through visualization.

Wow! One of THE best explanation of Transformers.. Thanks @Jay!!
2024, still a great reference to Transformers. Million thanks for the amazing work!
Nice collection of albuns man! Miles Davis, Radiohead, John Coltrane, very classy! 👏👏👏
Spot on observation, kind of ironic to be listening to Ok Computer and teaching about artificial intelligence :D
Dude I freakin love your blog, keep up with the good work! Thanks for everything!
Great video, and perhaps just as important, great selection of albums
27:56 - this explains a lot, thank you so much!
Really enjoyed your blog post and video, super clear - thank you very much for this amazing resource :)
Thanks for creating this content. Your explanation is quite easy to follow, especially for someone like me who is just beginning to explore these areas of AI/ML.
I really appreciate your explanation about this topic. One more time, I check that DL is my new passion. Thanks a lot.

I see Miles Davis vinyl, kind of blue. Awesome album, and thanks for the video!
Omg, thanks lot for these amazing videos. Your lectures and blogs are so easy to understand.
Small request, please pin the BGM you used in the video
Your are really good (excellent) at explaining a complex topic in a simple way. Congratulations !!!!
great explanation! also love all the pop culture references in your room :p
The best explanation of the Transformer and GPT model !!
I found this very helpful visual explainer, thanks so much for your time, and thanks for chopping it up into sections for easy revision 🤓!
Thank you for writing the blog. It has helped me .
Maybe the best video on this subject.

Amazinnnng illustration of language model transformers
Wow! 🎉 Awesome into.
Helpful.. you missed to import torch in your GitHub code.
Really clear. amazing job!

Impressive. Thank you.
I just found this now. it's super. thanks
You are my hero. You give me reason of my life :D
Great work 👍👍👍
Great explanation
Amazing!

@ why tokens are needed at all? Why not to use letters?
@@KlimovArtem1 all a model understands, is numbers
@ letters are numbers too. Again, I asked why not to use letters? When words are separated onto other constructs instead - what are they from a linguist point of view?

That is the result of training the tokenizer using BPE en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_pair_encoding
