In particular, it was only after reading one of these that I started thinking of the combination of the value and output matrices as being a combined low-rank map from the embedding space to itself, which, at least in my mind, made things much clearer than other sources. https://transformer-circuits.pub/2021/framework/index.html History of language models by Brit Cruise, @ArtOfTheProblem https://youtu.be/OFS90-FX6pg An early paper on how directions in embedding spaces have meaning: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1301.3781.pdf Звуковая дорожка на русском языке: Влад Бурмистров. --- Timestamps 0:00 - Predict, sample, repeat 3:03 - Inside a transformer 6:36 - Chapter layout 7:20 - The premise of Deep Learning 12:27 - Word embeddings 18:25 - Embeddings beyond words 20:22 - Unembedding 22:22 - Softmax with temperature 26:03 - Up next
