    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.

    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.
