Exploring RetNet: The Evolution of Transformers
Since 2017, transformers have demonstrated their superiority in performance and computational efficiency, surpassing recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The attention mechanism introduced in the paper ‘Attention is All You Need’ and their ability to parallelize training—a feat traditional RNNs struggled with—attribute this superiority. However, transformers come with a challenge: the memory and inference costs associated with … Continued
