This episode dives into the groundbreaking paper “Attention Is All You Need”, explaining how the Transformer model transformed AI and machine translation. Unlike traditional models, which were complex, slow, and difficult to train, the transformer introduced a simpler, more efficient method using only attention mechanisms—no recurrence or convolutions. This approach improved translation quality, sped up training, and made handling large tasks much easier. We’ll cover how the Transformer set new records for translating English to German and French and how it’s now being applied to other areas like grammar parsing. Discover how this game-changing model works and why it’s a cornerstone of modern AI.
