Cross-attention connects encoder and decoder components in a model and during translation. For example, it allows the English word “strawberry” to relate to the French word “fraise.” ...

A Solution: Encoder-Decoder Separation The key to addressing these challenges lies in separating the encoder and decoder components of multimodal machine learning models.

BLT architecture (source: arXiv) The encoder and decoder are lightweight models. The encoder takes in raw input bytes and creates the patch representations that are fed to the global transformer.

Since then a number of JPEG replacements have come and gone – including JPEG 2000 – but now Google reckons that it can improve JPEG with Jpegli, a new encoder and decoder library that promises ...
