About Google Research Transformer
Google Research Transformer is a research initiative within Google that focuses on advancing Natural Language Processing (NLP) through innovative solutions. They pioneered the development of the Transformer model, a novel approach to sequence transduction based solely on attention mechanisms. This architecture dispenses with recurrence and convolutions, resulting in models that are superior in quality, more parallelizable, and require significantly less time to train.
Google Research Transformer's research areas lie primarily within NLP, specifically creating, refining, and implementing transformer-based models for various applications. Their groundbreaking work, "Attention is All You Need," published at NeurIPS in 2017, proposed the Transformer architecture and demonstrated its superiority over existing complex recurrent or convolutional neural network models with attention mechanisms. This work has set new standards in machine translation tasks, achieving a BLEU score of 28.4 on the WMT 2014 English-to-German translation task, surpassing previous best results. Additionally, on the WMT 2014 English-to-French translation task, their model established a new single-model state-of-the-art BLEU score of 41.0 after training for only 3.5 days on eight GPUs, significantly reducing training costs compared to the best models from literature.
Google Research Transformer's teams advance the state of the art through research, systems engineering, and collaboration across Google. Their work is a testament to Google's commitment to innovation in AI technology.
