Session: Attention? Attention! - Attention Mechanism In Deep Learning
The concept of attention was first introduced into machine translation in 2015. Nowadays, attention has acquired considerable prominence in the area of artificial intelligence as an essential component of neural networks for a large number of Computer Vision applications, speech recognition and natural language processing, and more recently for time series prediction. To some extent, the attention concept is driven by how we, as humans, direct our visual attention to various areas of a picture, video, or pair of words in a sentence.
In this session, you will learn the theory behind the attention mechanism and how to apply it through practical use cases and applications.
