I am not able to download the pdf file. My friends also tried. Will it be possible to put it on a downloadable link please? your content is too good and needs to be read again and again.
This is arguably the best explaination of the multi-head attention in the internet hands down. Very thorough and most important to folks like me using attention mechanism as my underpinning mechanism in developing my novel neural architecture to be applied to my deep reinforcement learning architecture. Sir, pls never stop making this type of videos.
I couldn't agree more. Best video on transformers I have seen so far. I doesn't get clearer than this. It would be very interesting to give some insight why this whole thing works and what are other variations and alternative architectures.
There are still a couple of things that are not explained well in the video. Q, K and V matrixs are the same matrix? and where do the parameters matrix Wq, Wk and Wv comes from? Besides that, excellent video.
@@pablofe123 21:25 "QKV are the same matreces". As for W matrices, he only says that they are "parameter matrices", and parameters is something we train during training process.
I cannot tell you how grateful I am for this explanation provided by you .............. nowhere I find this detailed and easy-to-understand description, a go-to video for every interview preparing students
This is by far the best video out there explaining transformers deeply with allllllllll the important details, step by step from the paper. Believe me, you won't find anything better then this.
Best explanation of the paper on UA-cam. I love your style which is tailored for people who know the basics on an academic level. It’s like sitting in a really good graduate level course at university. You are such a good teacher!
You're welcome! To improve your understanding, I recommend watching my other video on how to code a Transformer model from scratch. Coding a model is the best way to interiorize its inner workings. Thank you again for your support and have a nice day!
This is the best explanation, it took me 4 hours, to take notes and revise stuff, and going with you word by word, with intuitions, and now I feel that I truly understand the transformer architecture and the mathematical intuition behind every detail. A thing that you cannot find in any other video. Thank you so much sir, this is very instructif and helpful.
I'm so glad I found this again. Do NOT rely on UA-cam watch history it doesn't look at all your history. This is definitely the best explanation of transformers and attention and believe me I've watched quite a few! Kudos again Umar.
"This explaination is all I need" to crack my DS interviews. I really liked the smooth buildup of Transformer concepts in this video. Thanks a lot man!!
i want to appreciate the fact that you started from basics and explain each and every step in detail , this is so great and so much needed for beginners.
I have read and watched a lot to understand the Transformer architecture. However, this is the best one of them so far. Nobody went to this level of minute details as you went. Thank you. Please keep it up.
I am honestly very much thankful that you made this video. It cleared my whole concept and understanding of the paper "Attention is all you need". Thank You Once again !! 🙌
This video is surely among the top 3 among the 50 videos that I watched to understand this subject. We are very grateful to you, keep the energy, UA-cam numbers will follow !
What a gem of a video! I would request people to read the paper and then come back here so that you will understand the value we get from the instructor. Awesome work, keep it up!
Wow, this is an incredibly detailed explanation of the Transformer Model! Thank you for sharing all the insights and resources. Understanding the layers and processes involved is crucial for anyone working with this model. Keep up the great work!
This is the clearest explanation video I've ever seen for Attention and Transformer Architecture. Thank you very much! Please continue making such awesome videos.
Your video has clarified and tied together the missing pieces from reading papers and watching other videos, and is the best explanation I've seen. My background is in psychology and psychometrics, so learning tranformer architectures for my dissertation has been a slog - but you've saved me a lot of time wasted on confusing explanations. Thank you so much!
Umar, you are a great teacher. I have not seen such a great explanation of transformer. Your transformer from scratch coding is also awesome. So, basically you understand which part needs more explanation. Thanks for your effort.
Spent days trying to understand this and I wished I had come across this video first because now I understand everything fully. Immediately subscribed, keep it up!!
The best Transformer explanation on internet till now and I have seen almost all of it. Kudos! You are a true teacher. I dare to compare you with Andrew NG. Please become a professor and not a corporate slave.
One cannot say it for sure because there is an infinite amount of explanations on UA-cam... but I can say that this is the best I have seen. Congrats for the great quality and congrats for all the effort that you clearly put into the material.
The best video explaining the Transformer so clearly I have ever seen. Thanks very much for your efforts. I really appreciate your methods of explaining every steps with a concrete examples and explicitly give the shapes of every matrices that involve. The shapes of matrices in each step are the most confusing part for me to understand Transformer models, and you make it so clear for me. Thanks a lot Umar.
I have been religiously watching your videos and it has helped me understand difficult papers so smoothly. Kudos 👏 you are doing a great job. It feels like you are the next Andrej Karpathy.
This is called decoding a transformer. What I really liked was explaining each chunk. That was really helpful for this topic and surely taught me the approach to decode any problem. Jazaakallah ul Khair
Thanks Umar for the amazing video. This is the most comprehensive yet understandable walkthrough of the transformer architecture that I came across. Super helpful. I feel like I have a good foundation for tackling more complex LLMs because of it.
Thank you for the great explanation! keep doing that kind of videos. Only reading this paper is hard but having a visual explanation of every step including an great explanation is very helpful.
I understood all of this pretty well. I have no experience in any of the math here, but the way you explained all the relational logic made it very easy to follow.
super useful. I really loved how you explain this with linear algebra. Very insightful. actually easier to understand than a lot of lectures at universities
Very clear, precise explanation! Went through many articles and videos, but was never clear of concept. Well thought-out presentation. Now eager to go through your other videos. 👍
I would understand much deeper with your explanation. Rest of the world is scarying with diagrams and tables without explaining practical implementation. thank you dear!
Finally the fancy "black box" called transformer became more understandable for me. Really interested in the other content you are making. Thanks for the explanation.
I must say it started off a bit bad when you started writing with the red stick, I almost tuned out. Turns out I have to agree this is the best explanation of self attention I have seen on youtube, congratulations, this is really good and properly explained, specially the QKV
This is brilliant. Thank you Umar for your hard work. Please keep new videos coming. You are helping immensely. May you live long and happy and healthy
After watching this video and the stable diffusion video, I can say forsure that you are an amazing teacher. Extremely digestible content and easy to follow along.
Thank you, this was really helpful! One minor correction: the LayerNorm does not normalize to a 0-1 range rather it standardizes to 0 mean with unit variance.
Finally, after a lot of articles and videos i found a video a could understand. Thank you, sir. I am not strong in math but i think i understood a lot with this explanation
Detailed explanation, did great work on explaining difficult topic by dividing in chunks, I don't think any part is missed in explanation. Best Explanation
This video is hands down the best explanation I've come across so far! The level of detail provided is fantastic, but if there's one aspect I'd love to delve deeper into, it's the normalization part. It would be incredibly helpful if you could expand on that topic a bit more. Furthermore, I'm quite curious about the process of weight learning. With so many weights involved, such as those for Q, K, V, and the fully connected layer, as well as the weights in the decoder part, understanding how they are learned would be immensely valuable. If you have any recommended resources or links that explain this aspect, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again for the amazing content!
Hi @huseyngorbani6544 The process of weights learning is determined exclusively by the back-propagation algorithm. Since it's a fundamental algorithm in machine learning, I will make a video on how it works and how to write an autograd system from scratch, so that anyone, even with little maths background, can understand it. As you know making videos, especially when it's not your source of income, is very difficult. I try to make high quality content and for free, not only for my own personal pleasure in teaching, but especially for helping others struggling to enter this magical world called AI. Have faith and I'll make try to satisfy everyone's requests. Have a wonderful day with your family, friends, pets (and VS code)!
@@umarjamilai Thanks for being such a genuine human being. Being extraordinary smart and remaining humble at the same time is a difficult challenge that most highly intelligent people seem to fail. I am fairly new to AI and I loved your video! Thanks for making those videos! They are super helpful!
One of the best explaination. Now i can relate to JD Prince's book. Now my bigger work is to bring this explaination to satellite image data input and classification of the same. That would be a challenging but it lovely to see this coming through.
Thank you, so much for putting together such a detailed video. This helps technical people who do not have a lot of experience in research but have some background in machine learning to understand this very important and historic paper in AI.
Hi, I wanted to express my thanks for your fantastic video. Your clarity and expertise made a complex topic incredibly accessible. Your video has been a meaningful change for me.
I seldom comment in a youtube video.. but this is just too good to pass. Thank you Umar for your relatively easy and comprehensible video on such a complex subject. It helps me a lot! You are awesome!
Thank you so much, Sir. This was fantastic. I tried to work through the paper on my own, but not being an expert in the field, it was too dense for me to get through. I tried to find other resources to explain it to me, but they all seemed to stop short of really understanding it. Reading the paper again after your clear explanation, I finally think I understand most of it.
The queries keys and values are not divided by just seperating them but they are made into the size of the head by multiplying with a weight matrix which is learnable parameter, it is also applicable to the self attention algorithm
Kudos on the commendable work, and simplified explanation! I appreciate that you are also trying to explain the intuition behind each step and not just math. I'll view and re-view this a few times to understand more with successive passes. Thank you!
38:56 normalizing in this case through layer norm, doesn't squish our values between [0, 1], but rather transforms them to have mean=0 and std=1. I know, a bit confusing, some papers mix normalization/standartization. For [0.1] the formula is different: x = (x - x_min) / (x_max - x_min). Just asked GPT, it said - "it is a DS thing to call standardization a normalization." Great video non the less. I try to rewatch it every now and then just because it is so good and helps to visualize everything.
