NCA-GENL - Core Machine Learning and AI Knowledge - Section 1.2

Describe how transformers function as the building blocks of modern LLMs for NLP.

Describe the transformer architecture, including the self-attention mechanism, positional encoding, and the encoder-decoder structure that underpins modern NLP systems. Recognise how stacking transformer layers produces the large language models used for text generation, summarisation, and translation.
