What is the purpose of hard distillation?
In order to get a smaller model, one often uses larger model, that performs reasonably well on the data as a teacher, and uses the information from large model to train the smaller one.
There are seve …

Is there any point in adding the position embedding to the class token in Transformers?
The purpose of introduction positional embeddings to the Transformer is clear - since in the original formulation Transformer is equivariant to permutations of tokens, and the original task doesn't respect …

Is there a notion of location in Transformer architecture in subsequent self-attention layers?
Transformer architecture (without position embedding) is by the very construction equivariant to the permutation of tokens. …

Is there a proper initialization technique for the weight matrices in multi-head attention?
layers have 4 learnable tensors (in the vanilla formulation):
Query matrix $W_Q$
Key matrix $W_K$
Value matrix $W_V$
Output matrix $W_O$
Nice illustration from https://jalammar.github.io/illustrated-transformer …

Has positional encoding been used in convolutional layers?
Positional encoding (PE) is an essential part of the self-attention layers in the transformer architectures since without adding it in some way (fixed of learnable) to the input embeddings model has ultimately …

Are there any successful applications of transformers of small size (<10k weights)?
In the problems of NLP and sequence modeling, the Transformer architectures based on the self-attention mechanism (proposed in Attention Is All You Need) have achieved impressive results and now are the …

Why class embedding token is added to the Visual Transformer?
In the famous work on the Visual Transformers, the image is split into patches of a certain size (say 16x16), and these patches are treated as tokens in the NLP tasks. In order to perform classificati …
