Why another tutorial on Transformers?

You have probably already heard of Transformers, and everyone talks about it, so why making a new article about it?

Well, I am a researcher, and this requires me to have a very deep understanding of the tools I use (because if you don't understand them, how can you identify where they are wrong and how you can improve them, right?).

As I ventured deeper into the world of Transformers, I found myself buried under a mountain of resources. And yet, despite all that reading, I was left with a general sense of the architecture and a trail of lingering questions.

In this guide, I aim to bridge that knowledge gap. A guide that will give you a strong intuition on Transformers, a deep dive into the architecture, and the implementation from scratch.

I strongly advise you to follow the code on Github:

Enjoy!
