Highlights

Introduced a new deep learning model called Transformer that achieved state-of-the-art results in neural machine translation.

Proposed self-attention mechanism that draws global dependencies between input and output, eliminating recurrence and convolution.

Demonstrated that attention-based models can excel on long-range dependencies by learning relationships between distant tokens.

Showed that Transformer attains faster training and better performance than recurrent models on translation tasks.

Validated Transformer architecture on WMT 2014 English-German and WMT 2014 English-French datasets, surpassing best prior models.

Established new state-of-the-art results on multiple translation tasks using the Transformer model.

Proposed positional encodings to make the model aware of word order, a key limitation of bag-of-words models.

Demonstrated that Transformer generalizes well to other tasks by applying it to English constituency parsing.

Showed the potential of attention-based models to advance the state-of-the-art across many NLP tasks.

Provided an open-source implementation of Transformer to enable further research and application.

Discussed limitations of Transformer such as quadratic complexity and peak performance with modest model sizes.

Suggested directions for future work like exploring sparse attention and conditional computation.

Inspired numerous follow-up works adapting Transformer to new domains and exploring architectural variations.

Enabled breakthrough advances in natural language processing through the Transformer architecture.

Fundamentally shifted the paradigm in NLP from recurrent models to attention-based approaches.

Transcripts

SHAWN CROWLEY, THANK YOU VERY

MUCH FOR COMING IN THIS MORNING.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>>> WE WANT TO BRING IN

CONSERVATIVE ATTORNEY GEORGE

CONWAY NOW, AND SPECIAL

CORRESPONDENT AT "VANITY FAIR"

AND THE POST OF "FAST POLITICS"

PODCAST, MOLLY JONG-FAST.

AND FORMER CHIEF OF CHAFF TO THE

D

DCCC AND AN AIDE TO THE BIDEN

AND HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGNS,

ADRIENNE ELROD IS WITH US.

>> GEORGE CONWAY, PERHAPS THIS

IS GROUNDED MORE IN THE FACT

THAT REALITY IS SETTLING IN.

ONE, DONALD TRUMP DID NOT DEFAME

E. JEAN CARROLL THIS WEEKEND.

PRETTY REMARKABLE WHAT $83.3

MILLION LAWSUIT WILL DO.

SECONDLY, WE ACTUALLY HEARD A

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN GOING OUT,

TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF

JURIES INSTEAD OF PEOPLE LIKE

MARCO RUBIO TRASHING THE JURY

SYSTEM AND ATTACKING JURORS AND

OTHER SENATORS, REPUBLICAN

SENATORS DOING IT WHEN THINGS

DON'T GO THEIR WAY.

YOU ACTUALLY HAD NIKKI HALEY

GOING, "I'M NOT GOING TO SECOND

SECOND-GUESS THE JURY.

WHAT

WHAT A QUAINT NOTION THAT IS."

>> A FEW YEARS TOO LATE, I

THINK.

THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE

BEEN DOING ALL ALONG.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAMMERING

HIM FOR HIS MISCONDUCT.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING ALL

THIS AND CRITICIZING HIM AND

CHALLENGING HIS MENTAL

STABILITY.

I THINK THIS CASE IS ACTUALLY

NOT JUST -- THIS DAMAGE VERDICT

IS NOT JUST A VERDICT ABOUT

DEFAMATION.

IT IS A VERDICT ABOUT HIS

INCREDIBLY DISTORTED STATE OF

MIND.

AS SHAWN JUST SAID, HE WAS HIT

WITH THIS JUDGMENT IN PART

BECAUSE OF HIS BEHAVIOR IN COURT

AND HIS BEHAVIOR DURING THE

TRIAL.

THIS IS A MAN WHO, AS JUDGE

KAPLAN SAID DURING THE TRIAL, HE

CANNOT CONTROL HIMSELF.

HE COULD NOT CONTROL HIMSELF

WHEN HE RAPED E. JEAN CARROLL.

HE COULDN'T CONTROL HIMSELF IN

2019 WHEN SHE CAME FORWARD WITH

THE STORY AND HE LIED AND SAID,

"OH, I'VE NEVER MET HER," EVEN

THOUGH THERE WAS A PHOTOGRAPH

THAT HAD BEEN PUBLISHED ALREADY

OF THEM TOGETHER.

HE COULD NOT CONTROL HIMSELF

AFTER HE WAS PRESIDENT, WHEN HE

CONTINUALLY DEFAMED HER AGAIN

AND AGAIN AND LIED ABOUT WHAT

HAPPENED.

THEN HE COULDN'T CONTROL HIMSELF

THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL WHEN, IN

THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, HE WAS

ATTACKING THE JUDGE AND

ATTACKING JEAN CARROLL AGAIN,

CALLING HER A LIAR, CALLING HER

A WHACK JOB, AND STANDING

OUTSIDE THE COURTROOM AND

HOLDING THESE OUTRAGEOUS PRESS

CONFERENCES.

NOW, HE HAS BEEN GOOD FOR FOUR

DAYS.

WE'LL SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS.

I KEEP REMEMBERING BACK IN 2017

AND 2018 AND 2019, WHERE HE'D DO

SOMETHING OR SAY SOMETHING

PARTICULARLY OUTRAGEOUS, AND

PEOPLE WOULD SAY, "OH, MY GOSH,"

AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, HE'D

READ SOMETHING OFF A

TELEPROMPTER, AND PEOPLE WOULD

SAY, "OH, THIS IS THE NEW DONALD

TRUMP."

THERE IS NO NEW DONALD TRUMP.

>> THERE IS NO NEW DONALD TRUMP.

MOLLY, NOW REPUBLICANS ARE

FORCED TO DEFEND SOMEONE WHO WAS

FOUND LIABLE FOR $83.3 MILLION

IN THE DEFAMATION LAWSUIT

CONNECTED TO A SEXUAL ASSAULT.

NIKKI HALEY, AT LEAST, IS

CHOOSING NOT TO DO THAT AS PART

OF A MORE AGGRESSIVE ATTACK FOR

HER.

YOU WROTE SOMETHING FOR

MSNBC.COM OVER THE WEEKEND.

"E. JEAN CARROLL, MY MOTHER, AND

THE POWER OF STAYING VISIBLE."

TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS AND WHY

IT IS SIGNIFICANT RIGHT NOW.

>> WELL, I THINK THAT DONALD

TRUMP USHERED IN AN ERA OF

MISOGYNY AND RACISM.

WE KNOW THIS IS TRUE, WHEN HE

WAS ELECTED.

WOMEN, YOU KNOW, OF THAT AGE

WERE REALLY -- YOU KNOW, THESE

WERE THE WOMEN WHO FOUGHT FOR

ROE.

THEN THEY LOST ROE.

BECAUSE OF DONALD TRUMP, RIGHT?

HE PUT THREE CONSERVATIVE

JUSTICES ON THE COURT.

HE EVEN SAID HE WAS PUTTING THEM

ON TO REVERSE ROE.

ROE WAS THE GREAT VICTORY OF

THOSE WOMEN, MY MOTHER

INCLUDED'S, AGE.

IN 1973, THEY WERE ABLE FOR THE

FIRST TIME TO HAVE

AUTONOMY, AND IT CHANGED THE

GAME FOR THEM.

SO TO SEE THIS TAKEN AWAY FROM

THEM, AND THEN HERE IS A WOMAN

DONALD TRUMP'S OWN AGE, RIGHT?

DONALD TRUMP HASN'T BEEN MARRIED

TO A WOMAN HIS OWN AGE IN A LONG

TIME.

THIS WAS A SORT OF INCREDIBLE

VICTORY FOR WOMEN OF THAT

GENERATION, FOR WOMEN OF MY

GENERATION.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS THAT WE MATTER.

NO MATTER WHAT AGE WE ARE, WE

MATTER.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

ADRIENNE ELROD, I MEAN,

ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE FIRST THING

I THOUGHT WAS THE HUGE JUDGMENT

CAME DOWN, THIS HUGE NUMBER, IS

THAT THIS WOMAN IS SUCH A HERO.

SHE STARTED THIS DURING HIS

PRESIDENCY AND KEPT GOING.

I DON'T THINK A LOT OF FOLKS

TOOK HER THAT SERIOUSLY.

I THINK EVERYONE IS TAKING HER

SERIOUSLY NOW.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE POLITICS OF

THIS, ADRIENNE, ESPECIALLY WITH

THE CIVIL SUIT COMING DOWN THE

LINE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF

WEEKS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THIS HURTS

TRUMP POLITICALLY.

I GUESS IT COULD HURT HIS BANK

ACCOUNT, WHICH COULD UNDERMINE

HIM A BIT.

HOW DO YOU THINK THE BIDEN WHITE

HOUSE SHOULD POSITION ITSELF?

OF COURSE, WE'LL WATCH NIKKI

HALEY PLAY OFF OF THIS, AS WELL.

>> YEAH, I THINK THE BIDEN WHITE

HOUSE HAS BEEN REALLY SMART

ABOUT THIS.

YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO

GET INVOLVED IN THE STORY LIKE

THIS.

THE STORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

LOOK, I MEAN, I THINK ON A

COUPLE OF FRONTS, I THINK,

NUMBER ONE, THIS SETS A

PRECEDENT.

IF YOU ARE -- WHETHER YOU ARE A

WOMAN, A MAN, WHOMEVER YOU ARE

THAT DONALD TRUMP IS

CONSISTENTLY DEFAMING, THERE IS

NOW A PRECEDENT SET FORWARD

WHERE, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS DONALD

TRUMP IS GOING TO THINK TWICE

BEFORE HE GOES OUT AND RIDICULES

YOU ON THE PUBLIC STAGE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT IS ALSO

IMPORTANT.

I LOVE THAT MOLLY TALKED ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, HOW WOMEN OF HER

MOTHER'S GENERATION AND,

FRANKLY, YOU KNOW, WOMEN MY AGE,

TOO, THIS WAS INSPIRING FOR US

TO SEE ON A NUMBER OF LEVELS.

I THINK IF YOU ARE -- I ALWAYS

TALK ABOUT, MIKA, THE SWING

MODERATE VOTERS WHO WILL DECIDE

THIS ELECTION.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS AND

SAYING, YOU KNOW WHAT, GOOD FOR

HER.

I'M GLAD SHE STOOD UP AND DID

THIS AND TOOK THIS STEP.

I DON'T THINK THE BIDEN WHITE

HOUSE NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED IN

THIS BECAUSE IT SPEAKS FOR

ITSELF.

YOU KNOW, E. JEAN HAS BEEN A

HERO TO SO MANY WOMEN.

IF YOU'RE TRUMP AND THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN, MAYBE YOU ARE THINKING

TWICE BEFORE YOU GO OUT THERE

AND START DEFAMING, YOU KNOW,

INNOCENT WOMEN OUT THERE WHO YOU

EITHER RAPED OR YOU HAVE JUST

CONSISTENTLY DEFAMED TIME AND

TIME AGAIN.

>> GEORGE CONWAY, QUICKLY, JUST

WATCHING TRUMP'S ACTIONS IN THE

DAYS AND WEEKS TO COME, HE CAN'T

TALK ABOUT -- I MEAN, TO WHAT

EXTENT DOES THE DEFINITION OF

DEFAMATION, CONTINUED DEFAMATION

INCLUDE?

HE SEEMS TO BE EDGING CLOSE TO

TALKING ABOUT THIS AS AN ATTACK

ON HIM, THE BIDEN DOJ, WHEN WE

KNOW IT WAS A JURY.

DOES THAT GET HIM IN TROUBLE, OR

CAN HE TALK AROUND IT STILL?

>> HE IS GOING TO DEFAME PEOPLE.

HE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO

DEFAME PEOPLE BECAUSE HE ENGAGES

IN PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTILE.

JOE CAN ATTEST TO THIS.

HE IS ALWAYS GOING TO ACCUSE

PEOPLE OF FALSEHOODS TO DRAW

ATTENTION AWAY FROM HIMSELF AND

BECAUSE HE IS JUST A

PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

THAT'S WHAT HE DOES.

I'M SURE HE IS GOING TO BE BACK

AT SOME POINT TALKING ABOUT THIS

JUDGE AND TALK ABOUT E. JEAN

CARROLL.

HE IS GOING TO BE SAYING

ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE THINGS ABOUT

EVERYBODY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

HE'S DONE HIS ENTIRE LIFE.

THE GOOD THING, THOUGH, ABOUT

WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED IS HE IS

FINALLY BEING CALLED TO ACCOUNT

FOR IT.

I THINK WHAT WE ALL NEED TO DO,

AND I THINK NIKKI HALEY, YOU

KNOW, FOR SOME REASON IS FINALLY

STARTING TO DO IT.

I THINK THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN, FROM

WHAT I CAN SEE ON THEIR SOCIAL

MEDIA ACCOUNTS, IS TRYING TO DO

IT.

WE NEED TO CALL OUT THE CRAZY.

WE NEED TO POINT OUT THE CRAZY.

HE'S HAD THREE YEARS OF

BASICALLY BEING OFF THE STAGE,

AND PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MENTALLY

DISORDERED THIS MAN IS.

THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT THAT, IN

PARTICULAR, THE CRAZIER IT MAKES

HIM.

I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE

POSSIBILITY THAT HE HAS

DEMENTIA.

I MEAN, IF HE WERE A RELATIVE OF

MINE AND SAYING SOME OF THE

THINGS HE WAS SAYING AND

CONFUSING NIKKI HALEY WITH NANCY

PELOSI, SAYING THAT BARACK OBAMA

WAS PRESIDENT, I'D DRAG HIM TO

THE NEAREST NEUROLOGIST.

BUT THAT'S NOT REALLY THE

PROBLEM WITH HIM.

WHAT MAKES HIM DANGEROUS IS HE

IS A NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH.

A NARCISSISTIC PSYCHOPATH.

MALIGNANT NARCISSIST.

HE'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED

LAST WEEK IS THAT THE JURY SAW

THIS MAN FOR THEMSELVES, JUST A

FEW FEET AWAY, AND THEY SAW HOW

SICK AND DERANGED HE WAS.

THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY HE

HAS TO COME UP WITH $83.3

MILLION REALLY FAST THROUGH A

BOND, AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE

CAN.

>> HIS LAWYERS SEE IT.

>> HIS LAWYERS CERTAINLY DIDN'T

HELP HIM AT ALL, WHICH IS AN

UNDERSTATEMENT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HE WAS COMING TO

THE COURTROOM.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS FOR THE

PRESS CONFERENCES OUTSIDE, IF IT

WAS TO INTIMIDATE THE JURORS,

WHAT IT WAS, BUT IT ENDED UP

COSTING HIM A LOT.

IF HE'D STAYED AWAY.

>> AND ZIP IT.

>> IF HE HADN'T MADE THE BAD

IMPRESSIONS HE MADE AND KEPT HIS

HEAD DOWN, HE'D PROBABLY HAVE,

YOU KNOW, AT LEAST $70 MILLION

MORE.

>> YES.

>> HE COST HIMSELF TENS OF

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GOING INTO
