Causal Attention Mechanism
The causal attention mechanism computes an output for a specific position i in a sequence by considering only the elements up to and including that position. The formula is given by: In this equation, the output is a weighted sum of the value vectors () from the beginning of the sequence up to the current position i. The weights, , determine the importance of each value vector to the query vector . This unidirectional constraint is crucial for autoregressive tasks, as it prevents the model from attending to future tokens.

An engineer is building a system to automatically categorize customer reviews as 'positive' or 'negative'. The first component of their system must read the raw text of a review and convert it into a single, fixed-size numerical vector that captures the overall sentiment and meaning. This vector will then be fed into a separate classification component. Which of the following best describes the function of this first component?
A company develops a sophisticated model that takes a user's question as input and produces a detailed numerical representation that captures the question's full meaning. This model, by itself, is sufficient to function as a complete question-answering system.

Attention Weight with Relative Positional Encoding
A language model is designed to generate a sentence one word at a time, from beginning to end. To generate the word at a specific position
i, it uses an attention mechanism to weigh the importance of the words that came before it. Which of the following statements correctly analyzes the structural constraint required for this mechanism to function properly for this specific task?Formula for Attention Weight with Relative Positional Encoding
Analyzing Attention Mechanism Constraints
An autoregressive model is processing the input sequence 'The quick brown fox'. When calculating the output representation for the token 'brown' (the third token), which set of tokens can it attend to if a causal attention mechanism is being used?
