Why Relative Positional Encodings Outperform Learned Positional Encodings
Introduction to Positional Encodings In the realm of neural networks, particularly transformer models, positional encodings play a crucial role in managing sequential data. Traditional feedforward neural networks, or even recurrent neural networks (RNNs), inherently carry an understanding of the data’s sequential nature through their architecture. However, transformers, by design, process input data without any intrinsic […]
