7/1/22: Continue same reading

Agenda & Minutes

• Welcome to the 21st meeting, July 1, 2022.
• Updates/news/inputs/comments
• VK paper status? Still waiting for publication.
• Readings, viewings, etc. 
• Source to read/view in more depth. 
• https://e2eml.school/transformers.html: "Transformers From Scratch." We read up to "To see how a neural network layer can create these pairs, ..." in the section "Second order sequence model as matrix multiplications." We decided to keep reading from there next time. The original vote was 4 3/8 out of 5 for this document, though we can always revote as we progress through it (which we kind of did today).
  
• Sources to scan to see if we want to read more. Please send in more suggestions for readings. We can read/view the first paragraph/minute or so of each, assessing each. Should we read it in more depth? 5=strongly agree, 4=agree, 3=neutral, 2=disagree, 1=strongly disagree. 
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bdc55j80l8&ab_channel=The A.I.Hacker-MichaelPhi as a transformer video. 
• The Dutch Tax Authority Was Felled by AI—What Comes Next? https://spectrum.ieee.org/artificial-intelligence-in-government
• 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 
• Featured resource: Short and long videos - 
• A longer video (44 min. but can skip last 10 minutes about negative result): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfnjQIhQzME&authuser=1. We watched up to time 16:00. However this is a bit ahead of what we want so we'll put it on hold.  
• Some quantum computing references we could read as needed:
• - 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

• Potential future readings that we have assessed in earlier meetings.
• 2021 Turing Award lecture paper: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3448250. We read the first two paragraphs. Vote was 4.5 to read more.
