Things rarely go as we expect!
In 2017, Google released the Transformer architecture. While it was clear the model was promising, absolutely no one (including its authors) anticipated the pervasive global revolution it would create!
The authors actually viewed the Transformer as just a stepping stone for a much more ambitious project: The MultiModel.
Their ultimate goal was to build a single deep learning architecture capable of jointly learning massive, diverse tasks across entirely different domains (in 2017). A One Model To Learn Them All.
In fact, the MultiModel paper was published in the exact same month as Attention Is All You Need!
But history had other plans. The building block eclipsed the grand design!
So, have you heard about the MultiModel before? π
