Lilian Weng's 'Attention? Attention!' explains the core concepts of attention mechanisms in deep learning.

This 2018 blog post by Lilian Weng explains the concept of attention mechanisms in deep learning, drawing parallels to human visual and linguistic attention. It details how attention allows models to weigh the importance of different input elements when generating an output, addressing limitations of traditional sequence-to-sequence models that struggled with long inputs. The post highlights that attention was initially developed to improve neural machine translation by creating direct connections between the output and the entire input sequence. AI
