Abstract: Attention mechanisms have been around since at least 2014, and they have been driving the state of the art in NLP (natural language processing) ever since. Now we are at the end of 2018, and yet it is still very uncommon to hear about their use in enterprise environments. This talk will explain attention mechanisms and how they fit into the deep learning landscape. It will show you the different types of attention mechanisms and examples of them being applied to several different problems. Finally, you will see how you might apply them yourself in models build with Deeplearning4J.
