Encoder Vs Decoder Transformer Updated

The document explains the roles and architectures of Encoder and Decoder models in AI and NLP, highlighting their importance in processing and generating language. Encoder models, like BERT, compress input into dense representations, while Decoder models, such as GPT, generate meaningful outputs from these representations. Understanding these models is crucial for developing advanced AI applications, including text classification and generation.

Encoder vs.

Decoder Models in
AI
Understanding Their Architecture
and Applications
Introduction
• - Overview of Encoder and Decoder models
• - Their role in AI and NLP
• - Why understanding them is important
What is an Encoder Model?
• - Processes input into a compact
representation
• - Extracts essential features, removes
redundancy
• - Used in tasks like text classification (e.g.,
BERT)

• Example: BERT processes a sentence like 'The


cat sat on the mat' and converts it into a
numerical representation capturing meaning.
What is a Decoder Model?
• - Converts encoded representation into
meaningful output
• - Used in text generation, translation, and
prediction
• - Examples include GPT for text generation

• Example: GPT-3 can generate a continuation


for 'Once upon a time' by predicting the next
words based on context.
Key Architectural Differences
Feature Encoder Decoder

Self-Attention Unmasked self-attention Masked self-attention


(attends to all tokens) (attends only to previous
tokens)
Encoder-Decoder Attention Not present Present (attends to
encoder outputs)
Processing Type Processes full input Processes output step by
sequence at once step (autoregressive)
Purpose Encodes input into a dense Decodes representation
representation into meaningful output
Transformer Encoder Architecture
• - Processes input sequence into vector
representations
• - Uses Multi-Head Self-Attention and Feed-
Forward layers
• - Includes residual connections and layer
normalization
• - Positional Encoding helps retain word order

• Example: In Google Translate, the Encoder


reads a sentence in English and converts it
Transformer Decoder Architecture
• - Generates output step by step, attending to
past outputs
• - Uses Masked Self-Attention and Encoder-
Decoder Attention
• - Employs residual connections and layer
normalization
• - Ensures proper sequence generation with
positional encoding

• Example: The Decoder in Google Translate


Real-World Applications
• - Encoders: BERT (search engines, sentiment
analysis)
• - Decoders: GPT (chatbots, text completion)
• - Encoder-Decoder: Transformers (Google
Translate, summarization)

• Examples:
• - BERT: Used by Google Search to understand
query intent.
Conclusion
• - Encoders compress, Decoders generate
• - Both are fundamental in AI and NLP
• - Understanding them is key to building smart
AI applications
