Role of the Final Softmax Layer in Transformers
In a Transformer architecture composed of L stacked blocks, a final Softmax layer is positioned after the last (L-th) block. The primary function of this layer is to process the final output from the Transformer stack and convert it into a sequence of 'm' probability distributions, where 'm' is the length of the input sequence. Each of these distributions is defined over the entire vocabulary.

Role of the Final Softmax Layer in Transformers
A language model is constructed with a deep stack of 24 identical processing layers, where the output of one layer becomes the input for the next. For the sentence 'The driver turned the steering wheel to park the car', how would the numerical representation for the word 'park' generated by layer 3 likely compare to the representation generated by the final layer, layer 24?
Optimal Representation Extraction
In a multi-layer Transformer model, the final output representation for an input token is typically generated by averaging the output vectors from all individual layers in the stack.

Output Probability Calculation in Transformer Language Models
A language model based on a standard multi-layer architecture is given an input sequence of 15 words. The model's vocabulary consists of 30,000 unique words. After processing the input through all its layers, what is the nature of the final output generated by the model's terminal probability-calculating layer for this sequence?
