Hello, I’m studying attention mechanism via “TRANSLATION WITH A SEQUENCE TO SEQUENCE NETWORK AND ATTENTION”.
But I have a problem to understand the below image. [prev_hidden] indicates decoder hidden state and [input] indicates decoder input, how these two tensors make attention weight?
I thought decoder hidden state and all hidden states of encoder make attention weight in Attention mechanism. So how decoder hidden state and decoder input?
