A look at transformers, algorithms that revolutionized how neural networks handle AI language models, and which are now being applied to computer vision
Stephen Ornes / Quanta Magazine : Tweets: @quantamagazine , @quantamagazine , and @quantamagazine Tweets: @quantamagazine : A powerful new approach to artificial intelligence allows computers to process and classify images in a new way. https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... https://twitter.com/... @quantamagazine : OpenAI's GPT-3 network trains on billions of words to generate unsettlingly strong new text. The tool's success is based on transformers, a surprisingly versatile type of neural network. https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ... @quantamagazine : Over the last five years, neural networks called transformers have displaced the previous go-to tools for nearly every AI task related to language. That was just the beginning. @StephenOrnes reports: https://www.quantamagazine.org/ ...
