Mar 21, 2022 at 16:31 comment added profPlum @nbro Perhaps, but IIRC the point-wise FFNs 'slide' across the time-dimension (paperswithcode.com/method/position-wise-feed-forward-layer), which is perhaps a meaningful distinction. But ya, I can't blame you. ...The paper itself could stand to be much clearer on the matter haha
Mar 19, 2022 at 0:01 comment added nbro @profPlum Thanks for sharing this info. As you can imagine, I gave this answer already a long time ago, so I forgot the details of the paper. However, note that you could also view a "normal" fully connected layer as a convolution layer with a kernel that has the same dimensions as the input. See also this.
Mar 18, 2022 at 23:35 comment added profPlum @nbro There are convolutions, though the authors call them "Point-wise feed-forward networks" and they discard the traditional conventions of CNNs (hence your quote). BUT the original paper also said this: "Another way of describing this [point-wise feedforward network] is as two convolutions with kernel size 1."
Mar 14, 2022 at 8:54 comment added nbro @profPlum There are no convolutions in the transformer. The original paper even says "Since our model contains no recurrence and no convolution...".
Mar 13, 2022 at 23:57 comment added profPlum You said it was supposed to solve seq2seq tasks without convolution, but it does use convolution doesn't it? Right after the attention mechanism dense layers are convolved across the attention outputs + positional embeddings, albeit not with the traditional conventions of CNNs (e.g. there is no flexible stride).
