RoPE Embedding

Definition

RoPE Embedding, or Rotary Position Embedding, is a method used in transformer models to encode the positional information of tokens within a sequence. Unlike absolute positional embeddings, RoPE integrates relative positional information directly into the attention mechanism’s query and key matrices. This approach allows the model to better generalize to longer sequences and enhances its ability to understand word order and relationships. It improves the model’s capacity for contextual understanding.
