    Hi

    Holy cow!

    How it started:

    The Implicit Mechanism of Attention
    It may be that a mechanism of attention
    results unexpectedly and implicitly from the
    design of the topmost, transabstractive level.
    Attention would work in the following manner.

    How its going:

    Attention Is All You Need
    The dominant sequence transduction models are
    based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural
    networks in an encoder-decoder configuration. The best
    performing models also connect the encoder and
    decoder through an attention mechanism.

    Arthur Theodore Murray Obituary
    "In Artificial Intelligence circles, "Mentifex"
    (Arthur Theodore Murray) was bold and controversial.
    He composed a "theory of the mind" and developed
    AI based on his knowledge of classical languages.
    He wrote "AI4U," "AI for Latin," and other books.
    To his death, he wanted this work to be widely
    understood and useful to others."
