Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for answers to other questions?

NLP is the field of computer science focused on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language. It powers applications like chatbots, translation services, and sentiment analysis.

RNNs are neural networks designed to work with sequences. They maintain a form of memory of previous inputs, which is useful for processing language where the order of words matters.

Self-attention is a mechanism that helps a model determine the relevance of each word in a sentence relative to others. It allows the model to weigh different words based on their importance, capturing context and relationships effectively.
