A deep dive into Transformer a neural network architecture that was introduced in the famous paper “attention is all you need” in 2017, its applications, impacts, challenges and future directions

The model architecture, tokenizer, and trainer all came from Hugging Face libraries, and my contribution was mainly setting up the code, setting up the data (~20GB uncompressed text), and leaving my computer running. (And making sure it was working correctly, with good GPU utilization.)
