8THE SUCCESS OF TRANSFORMERS

What are the main factors that have contributed to the success of transformers?

In recent years, transformers have emerged as the most successful neural network architecture, particularly for various natural language processing tasks. In fact, transformers are now on the cusp of becoming state of the art for computer vision tasks as well. The success of transformers can be attributed to several key factors, including their attention mechanisms, ability to be parallelized easily, unsupervised pretraining, and high parameter counts.

The Attention Mechanism

The self-attention mechanism found in transformers is one of ...

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.
