10 Training a Transformer to translate English to French

This chapter covers

Tokenizing English and French phrases to subwords
Understanding word embedding and positional encoding
Training a Transformer from scratch to translate English to French
Using the trained Transformer to translate an English phrase into French

In the last chapter, we built a Transformer from scratch that can translate between any two languages, based on the paper “Attention Is All You Need.”¹ Specifically, we implemented the self-attention mechanism, using query, key, and value vectors to calculate scaled dot product attention (SDPA).

To have a deeper understanding of self-attention and Transformers, we’ll use English-to-French translation as our case study in this ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
