3/11/22: Focus on a video about the transformers paper

   Agenda & minutes:

  • Welcome to the 8th meeting.
  • Any other updates/news/inputs/comments?
  • Future meetings:
    • Next meeting(s): Any suggestions or requests? 
  • Readings, viewings, etc.: 
    • We viewed and discussed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bdc55j80l8
    • We read the first two paragraphs of https://www.marktechpost.com/2022/03/07/an-introduction-to-saliency-maps-in-deep-learning/ and could potentially continue with it next time.
Meeting ended here.
  • Future reading possibilities:
    • https://e2eml.school/transformers.html: "Transformers From Scratch"
    • MM would like to step us through some of the resources available from NVIDIA.
    • MM suggests explainable AI as a reading/discussion topic.
    • MM suggests https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bdc55j80l8&ab_channel=The A.I.Hacker-MichaelPhi as a transformer video.
    • 2021 Turing Award lecture paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3448250
    • Anticipative Video Transformer, https://facebookresearch.github.io/AVT/?fbclid=IwAR1RurSM33v8baN10H9JCX_dvVNtscydsLupaB8NMgKOmNIPjIwD3XO2vOA.
    • "Deep learning—a first meta-survey of selected reviews across scientific disciplines, their commonalities, challenges and research impact," https://peerj.com/articles/cs-773.
    • We read the abstract. It is not clear whether we should continue reading material from it. Any opinions/thoughts/comments?
    • "Attention is all you need," https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2017/file/3f5ee243547dee91fbd053c1c4a845aa-Paper.pdf. Attention is all you need, A Vaswani, N Shazeer, N Parmar… - Advances in neural …, 2017 - proceedings.neurips.cc … Cited by 35,980 
      • We have read through section 3 so we could start with 3.1 next time we look at it. However this paper seems dense for our current state of understanding, so we'll put it on hold.
    • Featured resource: Short and long videos - 
    • Some quantum computing references we could read as needed (from VW):
      • - Quantum crossing threshold (free): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04273-w
      • - Crossing threshold in silicon: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04182-y
      • - Three-qubit donor processor in Si: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04292-7
