[AI趣事]从"专注力"到"全能学霸"：注意力机制与Transformer的革命 5-18 巅峰篇

嗨，各位AI探索者！

还记得上学时老师总说”上课要专心听讲，不要开小差”吗？没想到AI也需要学会”专注”！今天我们来揭秘AI界最重要的突破：注意力机制，以及它如何催生了ChatGPT、BERT等超级明星模型！

🤔 RNN的”记忆力危机”

翻译的噩梦

想象你要把这句中文翻译成英文：

"虽然今天天气不太好，但是我还是决定出门买一些新鲜的苹果和香蕉。"

传统RNN的处理过程：

# RNN的"健忘症"表现
encoder_states = []
for word in chinese_sentence:
    state = rnn_encode(word, previous_state)
    encoder_states.append(state)

# 问题：最后的state很难记住句子开头的"虽然"
final_state = encoder_states[-1]  # 只记住最后的信息
english_translation = decode(final_state)  # 翻译质量糟糕

就像一个健忘的翻译官，读到句子末尾时已经忘记开头说了什么！

更大的问题：一视同仁

# 所有词都被平等对待
sentence = "我不喜欢吃苹果"
weights = [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2]  # 每个词权重相同

# 但实际上"不"字应该更重要！
ideal_weights = [0.1, 0.4, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2]  # "不"应该有更高权重

💡 注意力机制：AI的”聚光灯”

什么是注意力？

class AttentionMechanism:
    def __init__(self):
        self.spotlight = "AI的专注力系统"

    def focus_on(self, input_words, current_output):
        """
        根据当前要生成的词，决定关注输入的哪些词
        """
        attention_scores = []
        for input_word in input_words:
            # 计算相关性得分
            score = self.calculate_relevance(input_word, current_output)
            attention_scores.append(score)

        # 归一化得分
        attention_weights = softmax(attention_scores)

        # 加权组合输入信息
        context = weighted_sum(input_words, attention_weights)
        return context, attention_weights

注意力矩阵的魔法

[插入图片2：bahdanau-fig3.png]

图：真实的注意力矩阵示例，展示英法翻译时词汇间的对应关系

# 英译法示例的注意力权重
sentence_en = ["The", "cat", "sat", "on", "the", "mat"]
sentence_fr = ["Le", "chat", "était", "assis", "sur", "le", "tapis"]

attention_matrix = {
    "Le": {"The": 0.9, "cat": 0.1, ...},      # "Le" 主要关注 "The"
    "chat": {"The": 0.1, "cat": 0.8, ...},    # "chat" 主要关注 "cat"  
    "était": {"sat": 0.7, ...},               # "était" 主要关注 "sat"
    # ... 其他对应关系
}

这个矩阵告诉我们：翻译每个法语词时，应该重点关注哪些英语词！

🚀 Transformer：注意力的终极形态

为什么需要Transformer？

RNN的三大痛点：

1. 顺序处理：必须一个词一个词地处理，无法并行
2. 长距离依赖：距离远的词汇关系难以捕捉
3. 训练缓慢：串行处理导致训练效率低

Transformer的解决方案：

# RNN: 串行处理
for i, word in enumerate(sentence):
    hidden[i] = rnn_cell(word, hidden[i-1])  # 必须等前一个完成

# Transformer: 并行处理  
all_embeddings = embedding_layer(sentence)  # 所有词同时处理
attention_output = multi_head_attention(all_embeddings)  # 并行计算注意力

位置编码：给词汇”排座位”

[插入图片3：pos-embedding.png]

图：位置编码示意图，展示如何将位置信息融入词嵌入

import torch
import math

def positional_encoding(seq_len, d_model):
    """
    生成位置编码
    seq_len: 序列长度
    d_model: 嵌入维度
    """
    pe = torch.zeros(seq_len, d_model)
    position = torch.arange(0, seq_len).unsqueeze(1).float()

    # 使用sin和cos函数创建位置编码
    div_term = torch.exp(torch.arange(0, d_model, 2).float() * 
                        -(math.log(10000.0) / d_model))

    pe[:, 0::2] = torch.sin(position * div_term)  # 偶数位置用sin
    pe[:, 1::2] = torch.cos(position * div_term)  # 奇数位置用cos

    return pe

# 示例：5个词，每个词128维嵌入
pos_encoding = positional_encoding(5, 128)
print(f"位置编码形状: {pos_encoding.shape}")

class PositionalEmbedding(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, vocab_size, d_model, max_len=512):
        super().__init__()
        self.token_embedding = torch.nn.Embedding(vocab_size, d_model)
        self.pos_encoding = positional_encoding(max_len, d_model)

    def forward(self, x):
        seq_len = x.size(1)
        # 词嵌入 + 位置编码
        token_emb = self.token_embedding(x)
        pos_emb = self.pos_encoding[:seq_len, :].unsqueeze(0)
        return token_emb + pos_emb

🎯 多头注意力：AI的”多重人格”

自注意力机制

[插入图片4：CoreferenceResolution.png]

图：自注意力如何解决共指消解问题，理解代词”it”指代什么

class SelfAttention(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, d_model):
        super().__init__()
        self.d_model = d_model
        self.W_q = torch.nn.Linear(d_model, d_model)  # Query权重
        self.W_k = torch.nn.Linear(d_model, d_model)  # Key权重  
        self.W_v = torch.nn.Linear(d_model, d_model)  # Value权重

    def forward(self, x):
        # x: [batch_size, seq_len, d_model]
        Q = self.W_q(x)  # Query: 我要查询什么？
        K = self.W_k(x)  # Key: 可以被查询的信息
        V = self.W_v(x)  # Value: 实际的信息内容

        # 计算注意力分数
        scores = torch.matmul(Q, K.transpose(-2, -1)) / math.sqrt(self.d_model)

        # 应用softmax获得注意力权重
        attention_weights = torch.softmax(scores, dim=-1)

        # 加权求和得到输出
        output = torch.matmul(attention_weights, V)

        return output, attention_weights

# 示例：理解句子中的指代关系
sentence = ["The", "cat", "sat", "because", "it", "was", "tired"]
# 自注意力可以让"it"关注到"cat"，理解指代关系

多头注意力：全方位理解

class MultiHeadAttention(torch.nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, d_model, num_heads):
        super().__init__()
        self.num_heads = num_heads
        self.d_k = d_model // num_heads

        # 每个头都有自己的权重矩阵
        self.heads = torch.nn.ModuleList([
            SelfAttention(self.d_k) for _ in range(num_heads)
        ])
        self.output_linear = torch.nn.Linear(d_model, d_model)

    def forward(self, x):
        batch_size, seq_len, d_model = x.size()

        # 将输入分配给各个注意力头
        head_outputs = []
        for head in self.heads:
            head_input = x[:, :, head.d_k * i:head.d_k * (i + 1)]
            head_output, _ = head(head_input)
            head_outputs.append(head_output)

        # 连接所有头的输出
        multi_head_output = torch.cat(head_outputs, dim=-1)

        # 最终线性变换
        return self.output_linear(multi_head_output)

# 8个头的注意力，每个头关注不同的语言模式
# 头1: 语法关系 (主谓宾)
# 头2: 语义关系 (同义词、反义词)  
# 头3: 长距离依赖
# 头4: 共指消解
# ...
