Yeah kinda ironic how that works. The simplest stuff required the most complex explanations

best video I have ever seen on whole youtube eon transformer model. Thank you so much sir!

The full code is available on GitHub: github.com/hkproj/pytorch-transformer It also includes a Colab Notebook so you can train the model directly on Colab. Of course nobody reinvents the wheel, so I have watched many resources about the transformer to learn how to code it. All of the code is written by me from zero except for the code to visualize the attention, which I have taken from the Harvard NLP group article about the Transformer. I highly recommend all of you to do the same: watch my video and try to code your own version of the Transformer... that's the best way to learn it. Another suggestion I can give is to download my git repo, run it on your computer while debugging the training and inference line by line, while trying to guess the tensor size at each step. This will make sure you understand all the operations. Plus, if some operation was not clear to you, you can just watch the variables in real time to understand the shapes involved. Have a wonderful day!

I have browsed KZread for the perfect set of videos on transformer, but your set of videos (the video explanation you did on the transformer architecture) and this one is by far the best !! Take a bow brother, you have really contributed to the viewers in amount you cant even imagine. Really appreciate this !!!

Thank you Umar for our extraordinary excellent work! Best transformer tutorial ever I have seen!

This video is incredible, never understood it like this before. I will watch your next videos for sure, thank you so much!

Dear Umar, your video is full of knowledge; thanks for sharing.

This feels really fantastic when looking someone write a program from bottom up

I'm not sure if it is because I have study this content 1000000 times or not, but is the first time that I understood the code, and feel confident about it. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for such a detailed video. Your videos on transformer are best.

Thanks for making it so easy to understand. I definitely learn a lot and gain much more confidence from this!

Thank God, it's not one of those 'ML in 5 lines of Python code' or 'learn AI in 5 minutes'. Thank you. I can not imagine how much time you must have spent on making this tutorial. thank you so much. I have watched it three times already and wrote the code while watching the second time (with a lot of typos :D).

This is such a great work, I don't really know how to thank you but this is an amazing explanation of an advanced topic such as transformer.

WOW WOW WOW, though it was a bit tough for me to understand it, I was able to understand around 80 % of the code, beautiful. Thank you soo much

Hey there! I enjoyed watching that video, you did a wonderful job explaining everything, and I found it super easy to follow along. Overall, it was a really great experience!

I can't possibly thank you enough for this incredibly informative video

Keep doing what you are doing. I really appreciate you taking out so much time to spread such knowledge for free. Been studying transformers for a long time but never have I understood it so well. The theoretical explanation in the other video combined with this practical implementation, just splendid. Will be going through your other tutorials as well. I know how much time taking it is to produce such high level content and all I can really say is that I really am grateful for what you are doing and hope that you continue doing it. Wish you a great day!

Very good video. Tysm for making this, you are making a difference

This is excellent! Thank you for putting this together. I do have one point of confusion with how the final multihead attention concatenation takes place. I believe the concatenation takes place on line 110 where V' = (V1, V2,.. Vh) (sequenc_length, h*dk) This is intended to be multiplied by matrix W0 (h*dk, dmodel) to give something of shape (sequenc_length, dmodel ) as is required. However, here you implement a linear layer operation which takes the concat V' (sequence_length, d_model) and is fed into a linear layer constructed so that we do the following: W*V'+b where the dimension of W and b are chose to satisfy the output dimension. This is different from multiplying directly with a predefined trainable matrix of size W0. Now, I can see how these are nearly the same thing and in practice it may not matter, but it would be helpful to point out these tricks of the trade so folks like myself don't get bogged down with these subtleties. Thanks

Really great video - learned a lot. Your inference notebook is using the dataset batching, but how can you build inference with user typed sentences?

How do you suggest to apply this model to time series forcasting what do you think should be changed, so far I believe that there is no source language and target language in the forcasting there is only time based. and also for the error or loss function I should use MSE in this case. Is there anything else I might be missing ?

It is really amazing video. I tried understanding the code of it from various other youtube channel; but was always getting confused. Thanks a lot :) . Can you make a series on BERT & GPT aswell; where you build these models and train on custom data?

Great video! I'm wondering, is there any reason to save the positional encoding vector? I don't see why you would need to save it since it seems to always be the same value considering the init parameters don't change.

Just want to say thank you!! This is easily one of my favorite video on KZread! I have watched a few videos on transformers but none explained it as clear as you, at first I was scared by the length of the video but you managed to have my attention for the full 3 hours! Following your instructions I am now able to train my very first transformer! Btw, I am using the tokenizer the way you are but looking at the tokenizer file it looks like my tokenizer didn’t split the sentences into words and it is using the whole sentence as token. Do you have any idea why? I am using mac if that matters.

Hi! Thanks for your kind words! Make sure your PreTokenizer is the "Whitespace" one and that the Tokenizer is the "WordLevel" tokenizer. As a last resort, you can clone the repository from my GitHub and compare my code with yours. Have a wonderful rest of the day!

@Hdjandbkwk

I have PreTokenizer set as whitespace and using WordLevel tokenizer and trainer but it will still encode the sentence as a whole. I did a direct swap to use BPE tokenizer and that is correctly encoding the sentences, maybe there is bug in WordLevel tokenizer for macOS. Another question that I have is what determines the max context size for LLMs? Is it the d_model size?@@umarjamilai

it was very useful to watch. Question: What books or learning sources you would suggest to learn pytorch deeply. Thanks

OMG. And you also note Matrix shapes in comments! Beautiful. I actually know the shapes without having to trace some variable backwards.

i enjoyed the video ! now i can transform the world !

the code is really well written. very easy and nicely organized.

You are a genius

in the 13:13/2:59:23, when we build the PositionalEncoding function, this line x = x + (self.pe[:,:x.shape[1],:]).requires_grad_(False), the x.shape[1] looks like not be used in the transformer model, because when we build the dataset.py function, we pad all the sentences into the same length, and then we load the (batch, seq_len, input_embedding_dim) into the PositionalEncoding function, where all x.shape[1] in the batch is the seq_len, instead of varying by their original sentence length.

Thank you umar jamil for this wonderfull content, to be honest i find it so hard to keep undertanding each part and what happens in each line of code for a beginner in pytorch. I wonder what i need to know before starting one of your videos. I think i need to read the paper multiple times till understand it?

At 29:14, the part on multihead attention, we feed each Q,V, K multiply by Wq, Wv, Wk then split them into n heads then dot product and concat them again. But should we not split them first, then apply Wq_h where Wq_h is the weight matrix for the hth query matrix, same for V and K? Because it seems like we just split them, apply attention, then concat?

Thanks Umar for the amazing video, but I'm still confused, that how can we build and apply transformers from scratch for multi-label classification.

At 1:42:03 you are using SOS special token from source language tokenizer in sentence with target language. Tokenizers are trained on different languages so is it correct to use special tokens between them? SOS token from source language tokenizer won't have different idx compared to SOS from target language tokenizer?

Excellent video. Well done! Can I request a yaml file in the repo to setup the environment (with the version numbers)?

HI thank you for the videos. I got a question, while tryning process im using (en-fr) dataset but im having an error with the paddings. im having raise ValueError("Sentence is too long").How can i avoid this while training, any thoughts on this?.

10 ай бұрын

If I remember correctly, that Exception is raised when the sentence length is too short to accomodate for the sentences present in the data set. Try to increase the sentence length of the model.

for determining the max len of tgt sentence, I believe you should point to tokenizer_tgt rather than tokenizer_src. tgt_ids = tokenizer_tgt.encode(item['transaltion'][config['ang_tgt']]).ids

Umar thank you so much.........

thanks for this video. Super cool. I have one question though. What determines if a module should have dropout or not? InputEmbedding has no dropout but things as simple as ResidualConnection has dropout? LayerNorm has no dropout. I don't know what the pattern it is there.

Hello Umar, really impressive work on Transformer. I have followed your step on this experiment. One small thing I am not sure is when you compute the loss you use the nn.CrossEntropyLoss() method, this method have already apply the softmax itself. As their document said:"The input is expected to contain the unnormalized logits for each class (which do not need to be positive or sum to 1, in general)". But in your project method in the built Transformer model, it has applied softmax. I wonder if we should only output the logits without this softmax to fit the nn.CrossEntropyLoss() method? Thank you anyway.

thank you so much

Great video by the way, Thank You! around 6:30, why does positional encoding need d_model? wouldn't seq_length suffice?

@umarjamilai

7 ай бұрын

Because each vector of the positional encoding has d_model dimensions. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to add the embedding and the position vectors together, they need to have the same dimensions.

i tried to modify the code bit for code generation task and i am stuck at 1.2 loss what do you think is the problem litterily the same code i just changed abit in the get_ds function and get_sequances function and i treated the src tokenizer and tgt tokenizer as the same tokenizer what is wrong with my changes in your implementation ?

In the matrices w_k, w_q, w_v and w_o in the MultiHeadAttention module, why did you not set the bias=False? Don't you need that for this to work properly?

This is an excellent video, your explanation is so clear and the live coding helps understanding! Can you give us tips to debug such an huge model? Because it is really hard to make sure the model works well. My tips on debugging is to print out the shape of the tensor in each step, but this only make sure the shape is correct, there may be some logical error I may miss out. Thank you!

Hi! I'd love to give a golden rule for debugging models, but unfortunately, it depends highly on the architecture/loss/data itself. One thing that you can do is, before training the model on a big dataset, it is recommended to train it on a very small dataset to make sure everything is working and the model should overfit on the small dataset. For example, if instead of training on many books, you train a LLM on a single book, hopefully it should be able to write sentences from that book, given a prompt. The second most important thing is to validate the model as the training is proceeding to verify that the quality is improving over time. Last but not least, use metrics to decide if the model is going in the right direction and make experiments on hyper parameters to verify assumptions, do not just make assumptions without validating them. When you have a model with billions of parameters, it is difficult to predict patterns, so every assumption must be verified experimentally. Have a nice day!

Thanks!
