Eric Leung on Attention Is All You Need

We're pleased to present Eric Leung on Attention Is All You Need. (Read the paper)

Attention Is All You Need is a landmark 2017 paper considered by some to be a founding document for modern artificial intelligence, as transformers became the main architecture of large language models. At the time, the focus of the research was on improving Seq2seq techniques for machine translation, but even in their paper the authors saw the potential for other tasks like question answering and for what is now called multimodal Generative AI.

Eric Leung is a marketing data scientist at the Walt Disney Company working on marketing measurement. He enjoys learning by teaching, and contributing to open source projects like freeCodeCamp. In his free time, you can find him playing the board game Go, editing Wikipedia, and figure skating.
