Developer implements Transformer architecture from scratch in PyTorch

A user has implemented the Transformer architecture from scratch using PyTorch, sharing their code on Reddit's r/MachineLearning. The current implementation uses only two encoder and decoder layers and was trained on a small vocabulary of 1,000 words, resulting in suboptimal predictions. The user is seeking advice on how to reduce training time and improve the model's performance. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical, albeit basic, implementation of a foundational AI architecture for educational purposes.
