The Transformer architecture was introduced in a 2017 paper by Vaswani et al. from Google Brain. The credited authors of the paper are Ashish Vaswani, Noam Shazeer, Niki Parmar, Jakob Uszkoreit, Llion Jones, Aidan N. Gomez, Łukasz Kaiser and Illia Polosukhin.

Let me know if you need anything else concerning the subject.<|im_end|>

Okay! Imagine you have a big box of LEGO bricks, and you want to build a cool toy robot. To do that, you need to put the LEGO bricks together in the right order.

The Transformer is like a smart helper who helps you build the toy robot. It looks at all the LEGO bricks (words) and figures out which bricks (words) are important and should be connected to each other. It does this by paying "attention" to the bricks and their relationships.

Once the Transformer knows which bricks (words) are important, it helps you put them together to create the toy robot (understand the sentence or text). It does this really fast and can even help you build more complicated things, like understanding stories or answering questions.

So, the Transformer is a smart helper that helps us understand and use words better by paying attention to how they connect and work together.<|im_end|>
