The attention mechanism allows us to merge a variable-length sequence of vectors into a fixed-size context vector. What if we could use this mechanism to entirely replace recurrence for sequential modeling? This blog post covers the Transformer architecture which explores such an approach.| Jeremy Jordan
In this blog post, we'll discuss a key innovation in sequence-to-sequence model architectures: the attention mechanism. This architecture innovation dramatically improved model performance for sequence-to-sequence tasks such as machine translation and text summarization. Moreover, the success of this attention mechanism led to the seminal paper, "Attention Is All You Need"| Jeremy Jordan
