Did you know that attention across the whole input span was inspired by the time-negating alien language in Arrival? Crazy anecdote from the latest Hard Fork podcast (by @kevinroose.com and @caseynewton.bsky.social). HT nwbrownboi on Threads for the lead.
Transcript of Hard Fork ep 111: Yeah. And I could talk for an hour about transformers and why they are so important. But I think it's important to say that they were inspired by the alien language in the film Arrival, which had just recently come out. And a group of researchers at Google, one researcher in particular, who was part of that original team, was inspired by watching Arrival and seeing that the aliens in the movie had this language which represented entire sentences with a single symbol. And they thought, hey, what if we did that inside of a neural network? So rather than processing all of the inputs that you would give to one of these systems one word at a time, you could have this thing called an attention mechanism, which paid attention to all of it simultaneously. That would allow you to process much more information much faster. And that insight sparked the creation of the transformer, which led to all the stuff we see in Al today.

For those who missed this post on the-network-that-is-not-to-be-named, I made public my "secrets" for writing a good CVPR paper (or any scientific paper). I've compiled these tips of many years. It's long but hopefully it helps people write better papers. perceiving-systems.blog/en/post/writ...

A paper a day keeps the FOMO away (mega-thread).

In the thread below, you'll find my daily ramblings about research articles I particularly enjoyed. Let's see how long I can keep this up!
