Abstract

Attention mechanisms have emerged as a pivotal component in deep learning, revolutionizing the field by enabling models to focus on specific parts of the input, enhancing their performance in various tasks. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of attention mechanisms in deep learning, exploring their evolution, key concepts, and applications, particularly in natural language processing (NLP). We delve into the foundational mechanisms, including self-attention and multi-head attention, elucidating their architectures and operations. Furthermore, we examine advanced attention variants, such as Transformer models, which have significantly impacted NLP tasks. Additionally, we survey recent research trends, challenges, and future directions in attention mechanisms, highlighting their potential for further advancements in deep learning.
