Probability Distribution Formula for an Encoder-Softmax Language Model
When an encoder model parameterized by processes an input sequence and is followed by a Softmax layer parameterized by a weight matrix , it outputs a sequence of probability distributions. This operation is mathematically expressed as: In this formula, each represents the conditional output distribution at sequence position . For notation simplicity, the superscripts and affixed to each probability distribution are sometimes dropped.

A neural network produces a final matrix of hidden state vectors, H, with dimensions [sequence_length × hidden_dimension].

Probability Distribution Formula for an Encoder-Softmax Language Model
A pre-trained sequence encoding model processes the input sentence 'The quick fox'. After tokenization, the input is a sequence of 3 tokens: {'The', 'quick', 'fox'}. The model then generates a numerical representation, H, which is a matrix of real-valued vectors. Based on the typical function of such a model, which statement best describes the output matrix H?
Contextual Representation Analysis
Consider a pre-trained sequence encoding model that generates a numerical representation H = {h_0, h_1, ..., h_m} for an input sequence of tokens x = {x_0, x_1, ..., x_m}. The vector h_i representing the token x_i will be the same regardless of the other tokens that appear alongside it in the input sequence.
