Attention Is All You Need

From Bharatpedia, an open encyclopedia

Attention Is All You Need,[1] a groundbreaking 2017[2][3] research paper by eight Google scientists, revolutionised machine learning by introducing the transformer architecture. Building upon Bahdanau et al.'s 2014 attention mechanism concept, this work laid the foundation for modern Artificial intelligence systems.[4][5] Though initially aimed at enhancing Seq2seq models for machine translation, the paper remarkably predicted its broader applications, including question-answering systems and today’s multimodal generative AI.[1] Transformers now dominate AI architectures, particularly in large language models, making this paper a key driver of the ongoing AI revolution.
