The attention mechanism allows the selection of necessary information and/or increases its impact in a specific task.
It dynamically assigns different weights to different parts of the input data, enabling the model to better understand the context and relationships between data elements.
The attention mechanism is widely used in natural language processing, computer vision, and other fields.
It is used in various ways, such as focusing on different channels or spatial locations in image processing, or at word and sentence levels for document classification.
