View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:In natural language processing (NLP), the "Transformer" architecture was proposed as the first transduction model replying entirely on self-attention mechanisms without using sequence-aligned recurrent neural networks (RNNs) or convolution, and it achieved significant improvements for sequence to sequence tasks. The introduced intensive computation and storage of these pre-trained language representations has impeded their popularity into computation and memory-constrained devices. The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is widely used to accelerate…
