Do you mean an electrical transformer (power device) or a Transformer model in machine learning? Brief answers for both:
- Electrical transformer: its main purpose is to transfer electrical energy between circuits by electromagnetic induction while changing the voltage level (step-up or step-down), providing isolation and enabling efficient long-distance power transmission and distribution.
- Transformer (ML model): its main purpose is to model relationships in sequence data by using self-attention to capture dependencies between all input positions in parallel, enabling effective processing of language, translation, and other sequence tasks without recurrence.
