总结

• 文章来源：CSDN_LawsonAbs
• 暂无亮点，持续更新~
• LawsonAbs的认知与思考，望各位读者审慎阅读。

forward()函数的输入参数：

query(L,N,E) L 指的是输出目标序列的长度，N 就是batch_size， E 就是每个单词的embedding 维度大小
key(S,N,E) S 指的是输入目标序列的长度（也就是max_seq_length），N 就是batch_size， E 就是每个单词的embedding 维度大小
value(S,N,E) ，S 指的是输入目标序列的长度，N 是 batch_size, E 是embedding的维度

输出参数：
attn_output(L,N,E)。

为什么源序列输入长度和目标序列输出长度不一致？
这个是完全可能的。结合下张图来看：

输入长度取决于 Q 的列维度，输出长度取决于V的列维度，而两者完全没有关联。

class MultiheadAttention(Module):
    r"""Allows the model to jointly attend to information
    from different representation subspaces.
    See reference: Attention Is All You Need

    Args:
        embed_dim: total dimension of the model.
        num_heads: parallel attention heads.
        dropout: a Dropout layer on attn_output_weights. Default: 0.0.
        bias: add bias as module parameter. Default: True.
        add_bias_kv: add bias to the key and value sequences at dim=0.
        add_zero_attn: add a new batch of zeros to the key and
                       value sequences at dim=1.
        kdim: total number of features in key. Default: None.
        vdim: total number of features in value. Default: None.

        Note: if kdim and vdim are None, they will be set to embed_dim such that
        query, key, and value have the same number of features.
