Abstract
The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent orconvolutional neural networks in an encoder and decoder configuration. The best performing such models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attentionm echanisms. We propose a novel, simple network architecture based solely onan attention mechanism, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely.Experiments on two machine translation tasks show these models to be superiorin quality while being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less timeto train. Our single model with 165 million parameters, achieves 27.5 BLEU onEnglish-to-German translation, improving over the existing best ensemble result by over 1 BLEU. On English-to-French translation, we outperform the previoussingle state-of-the-art with model by 0.7 BLEU, achieving a BLEU score of 41.1.

Exploring Self-Attention for Image Recognition

TL;DR: This work considers two forms of self-attention, pairwise and patchwise, which generalizes standard dot-product attention and is fundamentally a set operator and strictly more powerful than convolution.

Attention Augmented Convolutional Networks

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper concatenated convolutional feature maps with a set of feature maps produced via a novel relative self-attention mechanism, which attends jointly to both features and spatial locations while preserving translation equivariance.

Transfer Learning in Biomedical Natural Language Processing: An Evaluation of BERT and ELMo on Ten Benchmarking Datasets.

TL;DR: The Biomedical Language Understanding Evaluation (BLUE) benchmark is introduced to facilitate research in the development of pre-training language representations in the biomedicine domain and it is found that the BERT model pre-trained on PubMed abstracts and MIMIC-III clinical notes achieves the best results.

Tokens-to-Token ViT: Training Vision Transformers from Scratch on ImageNet

TL;DR: T2T-ViT as mentioned in this paper proposes a token-to-token transformation to progressively transform the image to tokens by recursively aggregating neighboring tokens into one token (Token-To-Token), such that local structure represented by surrounding tokens can be modeled and tokens length can be reduced.
