"Attention is All You Need"

"Attention is All You Need" introduces a model called the Transformer, which revolutionizes how computers understand language. Instead of processing words one by one, the model uses a mechanism called "attention" to weigh the importance of each word relative to others in a sentence. This allows for capturing context and relationships more efficiently, enabling better translation, summarization, and understanding. The key idea is that the model focuses on relevant parts of the input dynamically, improving performance and reducing training time, and has become foundational for many advanced language processing applications today.
