2.1. Model

  1. How does T5’s Transformer differ from the original Transformer?
    Only in details: layer normalization without bias, applied outside the residual path (to each subcomponent’s input), and simplified relative position embeddings: a learned scalar per bucket of key–query offsets added to the attention logits, shared across layers, 32 buckets growing logarithmically up to offset 128.
