Transformers are used for translation and text summarising tasks because they can analyze sequential input data, such as natural language. Transformers use the self-attention process and weights the importance of each component of the input data differently. Large-scale transformer-based language models have gained a lot of popularity recently in the disciplines of computer vision and natural language processing (NLP). They expand in size and complexity frequently, yet it costs millions of dollars, hires the greatest experts, and takes years to construct these models. Because of this, many companies have been unable to use it, and only significant IT organizations have access to this cutting-edge technology.
