Attention Is All You Need
NeurIPS
A 2017 paper that introduced the Transformer, a neural network built entirely on attention with no recurrence. It set new machine translation results and became the architecture behind almost every large language model since.

Google's Neural Machine Translation System: Bridging the Gap between Human and Machine Translation
arXiv
A 2016 paper describing Google's neural machine translation system, GNMT: a deep LSTM encoder-decoder with attention, designed to make end-to-end translation practical by addressing rare words, parallelism and inference cost.

Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate
ICLR
Submitted to arXiv in September 2014 by Dzmitry Bahdanau, Kyunghyun Cho and Yoshua Bengio, this paper let a translation model look back at the whole source sentence while producing each word. This mechanism, called attention, later became a basis for Transformer models.

Large Scale Distributed Deep Networks
NeurIPS
A 2012 NIPS paper by Jeffrey Dean, Andrew Ng and colleagues that introduced DistBelief, a framework for training deep networks across clusters of thousands of machines, together with the Downpour SGD and Sandblaster optimisation procedures.
