Transformer Decoder

Transformer decoders are neural network components primarily used for sequence generation tasks, aiming to produce outputs conditioned on input sequences. Current research focuses on improving their efficiency and robustness through techniques like novel initialization methods, integrating them into other architectures (e.g., temporal graph neural networks), and optimizing decoding algorithms (e.g., incorporating planning or speculative execution). These advancements are significant because they enhance the performance and applicability of transformer-based models across diverse fields, including natural language processing, computer vision, and drug discovery, by enabling faster training, more accurate predictions, and efficient deployment on resource-constrained devices.
