Explaining Transformers

Explaining Transformers Transformers are neural network architectures that have delivered performant solutions in several fields including Natural Language Processing (NLP), computer vision & audio/speech analysis. In fact, state-of-the-art NLP models such as GPT4 and BERT are built using transformer blocks. The self-attention mechanisms upon which these models are built allow for parallel processing of the […]
How are the final MVP features contributing to the X-By-Design Concept?

How are the final MVP features contributing to the X-By-Design Concept? Introduction to the Final MVP As already discussed in a previous post, the XMANAI Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is designed with the minimum set of features and functionalities that can satisfy early adopters who, in turn, can promptly provide feedback for future improvements. During […]
The Power of X-by-design: Pioneering Transparency and Explainability through Design

The Power of X-by-design: Pioneering Transparency and Explainability through Design In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed various industries, revolutionizing how we interact with technology and process information. However, alongside these advancements, concerns about the transparency and interpretability of AI systems have emerged. The concept of “explainable AI” (XAI) has thus gained significant […]
