Hah, yeah, little known fun fact: Schmidhuber proposed an alternative to RNNs back in 1991, which is now called "linear Transformers" or "Transformers with linearized self-attention" via more recent papers. Summarized it here: https://

Transformer’s Birthday: Attention Mechanisms and RNN Evolution

Happy birthday, transformer! An awesome summary @DrJimFan
! Also interesting to think about why we needed attention for RNNs (before transformers) in the first place. Since we can't translate word-by-word, we needed a RNN encoder-decoder setup. But then, it's hard to remember. -
