Transformers: how to get the output (keys and values) of the encoder?

I was reading the paper Attention Is All You Need. It seems like the last step of the encoder is a LayerNorm(relu(WX + B) + X), i.e. an add + normalization. This should result in a $n$ x $d^{model}$ m …

Transformers: how does the decoder final layer output the desired token?

In the paper Attention Is All You Need, this section confuses me: In our model, we share the same weight matrix between the two embedding layers [in the encoding section] and the pre-softmax linear t …

What is the cost function of a transformer?

The paper Attention Is All You Need describes the transformer architecture that has an encoder and a decoder. … What is the object function of the transformer? Is it the MSE between $x_{french}'$ and $y_{french}$? And does it have any weight regularization terms? …

What is the gradient of an attention unit?

The paper Attention Is All You Need describes the Transformer architecture, which describes attention as a function of the queries $Q = x W^Q$, keys $K = x W^K$, and values $V = x W^V$: $\text{Attention … (Q, K, V)} = \text{softmax}\left( \frac{QK^T}{\sqrt{d_k}} \right) V \\ = \text{softmax}\left( \frac{x W^Q (W^K)^T x}{\sqrt{d_k}} \right) x W^V$ In the Transformer, there are 3 different flavors of attention …
