What are transfomer models and how do they work?
Transformers are a new development in machine learning that have been making a lot of noise lately. They are incredibly good at keeping track of context, and this is why the text that they write makes sense. In this blog post, we will go over their architecture and how they work.

What is semantic search?
Semantic search is a very effective way to search documents with a query. In this article, you’ll learn how to use embeddings and similarity in order to build a semantic search model.

What is attention in Large Language Models?
A huge roadblock for language models is when a word can be used in two different contexts. This is precisely what self-attention models tackle.

What is similarity between sentences?
For large language models, it is crucial to know when two words, or two sentences, are similar or different. In this post we go over some different notions of similarity between pieces of text.

What are sentence embeddings?
Sentence and word embeddings are the bread and butter of language models. Here is a very simple introduction to what they are.
