- [Self-attention](Attention.md)
- Weighting significance of parts of the input
- Including recursive output
- Similar to [RNN](../RNN/RNN.md)s
- Process sequential data
- Translation & text summarisation
- Differences
- Process input all at once
- Largely replaced [LSTM](../RNN/LSTM.md) and gated recurrent units (GRU) which had attention mechanics
- No recurrent structure

# Architecture
## Input
- Byte-pair encoding tokeniser
- Mapped via word embedding into vector
- Positional information added
## Encoder/Decoder
- Similar to seq2seq models
- Create internal representation
- Encoder layers
- Create encodings that contain information about which parts of input are relevant to each other
- Subsequent encoder layers receive previous encoding layers output
- Decoder layers
- Takes encodings and does opposite
- Uses incorporated textual information to produce output
- Has attention to draw information from output of previous decoders before drawing from encoders
- Both use [Attention](Attention.md)
- Both use [dense](../MLP/MLP.md) layers for additional processing of outputs
- Contain residual connections & layer norm steps
