Self-attention is one of the key technologies transforming information processing in AI and deep learning models. At the heart of the Transformer architecture, self-attention offers a major innovation, especially in language model training. In this article, we will explore how self-attention works, why it is important and where it is used.
Self-attention is a mechanism that optimizes data processing by evaluating how each element in a data array relates to all other elements in the array. This approach calculates how each element relates to the other elements and processes the data based on these relationships.
For example, each word in a sentence is analyzed in relation to the rest of the sentence. This allows the model to better understand the context between words and produce more accurate results.
The self-attention mechanism consists of three main components: Query, Key and Value. These terms indicate how each element interacts with the other elements.
By combining these components, the relation of a word (query) with other words (keys) is analyzed and as a result of these relations, a value is obtained that makes sense of the context of that word.
Self-attention in Transformer models has revolutionized language models in particular. Unlike traditional models such as RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), Transformer can take into account the interactions of all elements in the sequence at the same time. This results in a much faster and more efficient learning process.
Self-attention is the basic building block of Transformer and is used in every layer of this model. The Encoder and Decoder layers make sense of the context by examining the relationship of each element in the data sequence to other elements. Thus, the model can solve complex language problems more accurately.
Self-attention is the basic mechanism used in models such as GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). These models have revolutionized tasks such as language understanding, language generation and machine translation.
Self-attention is also used in image processing. In particular, models such as Vision Transformers (ViT) utilize self-attention to better understand the relationships between different regions of images. This method has achieved great success in image recognition and classification compared to traditional CNNs.
Self-attention is also used in applications such as audio data processing and object tracking in videos. Contextual analysis of audio or elements in video frames helps to achieve more effective results.
Another important component of the Transformer model is multi-head attention. This structure, in which the self-attention mechanism works using multiple heads, allows the same data to be analyzed from different perspectives. This allows the model to learn more complex relationships in a data set and to be more accurate.
Self-attention is a powerful mechanism that dramatically improves the performance of AI models. It has revolutionized areas such as natural language processing, image processing and voice analysis through Transformer models. This technology enables more accurate and effective results by digging deeper into the contextual meaning of each element in the data set.

Data management is the implementation of policies and procedures that enable organizations to have control over business-critical data.
Entegrasyon, farklı sistemlerin, uygulamaların veya süreçlerin bir araya getirilerek ortak bir yapı içinde çalışmasını sağlayan bir süreçtir. Teknolojinin gelişimiyle birlikte, organizasyonların daha verimli, uyumlu ve hızlı bir şekilde çalışabilmesi için entegrasyon süreçlerine olan ihtiyaç artmıştır.
Data gravity occurs when the volume of data in a warehouse increases and the number of uses also increases. In some cases, copying or moving data can be troublesome and expensive. Therefore, data tends to pull services, applications and other data into its warehouse.
