Attention and Transformers

I sometimes serve as a TA for NLP courses at the UvA, as part of my PhD responsibilities. For ‘Advanced Topics in Computational Semantics’, an advanced MSc Artificial Intelligence course, I also lcture sometimes.

For the 2025 edition, for the introductory lecture ‘Attention and Transformers’, I have revamped my slide deck using Slidev. These can now be viewed as a single page app.

I’ve embedded the slides below, but they can also be seen in full screen.
