It does this by paying extra attention to certain parts of the input (like words that are repeated or have similar sounds) and ignoring other parts that aren’t as important.

Here’s how it works: first, your computer takes all the words or sounds you’ve given it and puts them into a big jumbled mess called an “input sequence”. Then, using some fancy math (which we won’t go into here because it would bore us to tears), the FlaxAlbert Self-Attention Layer breaks this input sequence down into smaller pieces called “tokens” or “subsequences”.

Each token is then given a score based on how important it is in relation to all the other tokens. This score is calculated using something called an “attention mechanism”, which basically means that certain parts of the input are paid more attention than others (hence the name “self-attention”). The higher the score, the more likely it is that this token will be included in the final output.

For example, let’s say you type in the phrase “I love pizza”. When your computer processes this input using FlaxAlbert Self-Attention Layer, each word (i.e., “I”, “love”, and “pizza”) would be assigned a score based on its importance to the overall meaning of the sentence. The word “love” might have a higher score than “I” or “pizza” because it’s more central to the idea being conveyed, while “pizza” might have a lower score because it’s just a noun and doesn’t add much contextual information on its own.

Once all the scores are calculated, the FlaxAlbert Self-Attention Layer uses them to create an output sequence that is more focused and relevant than the original input sequence. This output sequence can then be used for tasks like text generation or machine translation, where it’s important to understand the context of what you’re saying in order to produce accurate results.
