The Transformer Revolution

Transformers have increasingly become the model of choice for natural language processing, despite requiring computation time that is quadratic in context window size.

• Linear scaling solutions developed (Schmidhuber's fast weight controller)

• Breakthrough in language understanding and generation

• Foundation for modern large language models

• Enabled practical NLP applications at scale
