Evolution of Transformers -- Part 1

Artificial Intelligence has had quite a journey starting from 1956 when the term was first coined, till today, where it is being used in every field. Deep Learning is slowly surpassing Machine Learning as the preferred method for most of the tasks involving AI, and the models that are leading this evolution are Transformers. This is going to be a series of 3 articles that will go through some ground-breaking Transformer models developed by many researchers over the past 5 years since the development of the first Transformer in 2017. We'll briefly go over transformers and 4 transformer architectures that were introduced right after transformers in this part. Note: Before we begin, let's see which tasks are performed by which models.
