From NVIDIA:

At GTC, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang hosted a session with the authors of the renowned research paper on the transformer model, which revolutionized deep learning. The paper, “Attention Is All You Need,” has over 100,000 citations and led to groundbreaking advancements in generative AI.

The transformer model was developed as an alternative to recurrent neural networks (RNNs) for processing language data. This innovative approach allowed for improved efficiency in AI models, prompting comparisons to the industrial revolution. The research team aimed to create models capable of processing diverse data types, such as text, images, and biological data.

Looking ahead, researchers highlighted the importance of adaptive computation and the need for advancements beyond the transformer model in future AI development. They anticipate new breakthroughs that will enhance performance and capabilities in AI technology, urging industry professionals not to miss out on the innovations of the next decade.
