Self-transformation: One of our students, reflecting on the difference between studying ʿilm al-nafs (Islamic psychology) and other subjects: “When I take a course in engineering and learn something interesting, it stays within that circle. But ʿilm al-nafs literally touches my whole life.” Diploma in Islamic Psychology — applications close...

New short course: Attention in Transformers: Concepts and Code in PyTorch. Last week we released a course on how LLM transformers work. This week, go deeper and learn about the technical ideas behind the attention mechanism, and see how to code it in PyTorch. This course is built with Joshua Starmer, Founder and CEO of StatQuest. The attention mechanism was a breakthrough that led to transformers, the architecture powering large language models like ChatGPT. Transformers, introduced in the 2017 paper: "Attention is All You Need" by Viswani and others, took off because of its highly scalable design. In this course, you’ll learn how the attention mechanism, a key element of transformer-based LLMs, works and implement it in PyTorch. You'll develop deep intuition about building reliable, functional, and scalable AI applications. What you will do: - Understand the evolution of the attention mechanism, a key breakthrough that led to transformers. - Learn the relationships between word embeddings, positional embeddings, and attention. - Learn about the Query, Key, and Value matrices, and how to produce and use them in attention. - Walk through the math required to calculate self-attention and masked self-attention to learn why and how they work. - Understand the difference between self-attention and masked self-attention and how one is used in the encoder to build context-aware embeddings and the other is used in the decoder for generative outputs. - Learn the details of the encoder-decoder architecture, cross-attention, and multi-head attention and how they are all incorporated into a transformer. - Use PyTorch to code a class that implements self-attention, masked self-attention, and multi-head attention. There're lots of exciting technical details in this course. Please sign up here:

A glimpse into the life of a Canadian soldier – Captain (Retd.) Thady Holmes – and how the Inner Engineering program transformed his life from a state of trauma to one filled with purpose. "I started my career as a Canadian paratrooper at the age of 17. Between the period of 2009 to 2017, I don't have many memories to relish. All that I can remember are the gloomy days when I lost my mother after returning from war, losing my son, and also a close friend to suicide. I had lost hope to live and was having suicidal thoughts. I remember trying to pull the trigger by putting a pistol into my mouth, but thankfully, it didn't work properly, hence didn't fire. In 2017, dancing was the only thing that I enjoyed. It would ward off my worry and anxiety. Even after retiring from the military, having a successful career in finance and a happy family of three, emotionally, I was still down and this led to fluctuating weight and health. Luckily, I discovered Sadhguru through YouTube in 2019 and his videos motivated me to get initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra. I intensified my practice and as days passed, my experience became so profound that I could experience something inexplicable, which sparked my interest to learn Sanskrit. I was moved when Sadhguru spoke about the Cauvery farmers ending their lives, and I started working with people who needed special emotional care. I also started teaching Yoga to veterans in Nepal for free. Seeing my transformation, my wife also participated in Inner Engineering. In 2020, I closed my business and started volunteering full-time. Since then, I've never worked for more than a handful of rice, and lead my family on my pension. To put it simply, Inner Engineering solved what 6 years of drugs post-war couldn't, and helped me disentangle myself from the chains of karma, and lead the simple life that I'm currently leading!" Designed by Sadhguru, Inner Engineering is a technology for wellbeing derived from the science of Yoga. It is offered as a comprehensive course, which comprises of seven sessions.
