A transformer layer typically consists of the following parts:\n\n1. Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanism: This mechanism allows the model to weigh the importance of different words in a sequence relative to each other. It computes attention scores for each word in the input sequence and uses these scores to create a weighted representation of the input. This helps the model to capture long-range dependencies and contextual information more effectively.\n\n2. Layer Normalization: Layer normalization is applied after the multi-head self-attention mechanism. It helps in stabilizing the training process and improving the model's convergence by normalizing the input across the features rather than across the batch. It computes the mean and variance of the input and normalizes it accordingly.\n\n3. Position-wise Feed-Forward Networks (FFN): These are fully connected feed-forward networks applied to each position separately and identically. They consist of two linear layers with a ReLU activation function in between. The purpose of the FFN is to introduce non-linearity into the model and to process the information obtained from the self-attention mechanism.\n\n4. Residual Connections: Residual connections, also known as skip connections, are used to connect the input of a layer to its output. They help in mitigating the vanishing gradient problem and allow the model to learn more complex functions. In a transformer layer, residual connections are used to connect the input of the multi-head self-attention mechanism to its output and the input of the position-wise FFN to its output.\n\n5. Dropout: Dropout is a regularization technique used to prevent overfitting in neural networks. It randomly drops out a certain percentage of neurons during training, forcing the model to learn more robust features. In a transformer layer, dropout is applied after the multi-head self-attention mechanism, layer normalization, and position-wise FFN.\n\nIn summary, a transformer layer processes the input logits through a multi-head self-attention mechanism to capture contextual information, applies layer normalization to stabilize training, uses position-wise feed-forward networks to introduce non-linearity, and employs residual connections and dropout for better learning and generalization."}
