Attention Is All You Need
This paper aims to replace recurrent architectures (RNN/LSTM) in machine translation with a novel attention-based architecture to overcome speed and long-range dependency issues.
The authors propose the Transformer, a fully attention-based architecture using multi-head self-attention and positional encoding, eliminating recurrence entirely.
The Transformer achieved state-of-the-art translation quality while being significantly faster to train due to parallelization.
The quadratic complexity of self-attention with respect to sequence length makes it expensive for very long sequences (e.g., >10k tokens), and it requires vast amounts of training data.
Transformers are the backbone of all modern large language models (GPT, BERT, T5) and are used in translation, search, content generation, and chatbots. In robotics, they are adopted for multi-modal perception and decision-making.
