Summary

In this chapter, we introduced two different technical concepts: attention visualization and experiment tracking. We visualized attention heads with the exBERT online interface first. Then, we studied BertViz, where we wrote Python code to see three BertViz visualizations: head view, model view, and neuron view. The BertViz interface gave us more control so that we could work with different language models. Moreover, we were also able to observe how attention weights between tokens are computed. These tools provide us with important functions for interpretability and exploitability. We also learned how to track our experiments to obtain higher-quality models and do error analysis. We utilized two tools to monitor training: TensorBoard and W&B. These tools were used to effectively track experiments and to optimize model training.
