Transformer encoder-only

E457857

Transformer-based model neural network architecture

A Transformer encoder-only model is a neural network architecture that uses only the encoder stack of the Transformer to process input sequences, typically for tasks like classification, retrieval, and masked language modeling.

How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4651116 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
