Ashish Vaswani (born 1986)[1] is an Indian computer scientist. He worked as a research scientist at Google Brain and Information Sciences Institute.
Vaswani is a co-author of the 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need," which introduced the Transformer neural network architecture.[2] The Transformer model has been used in the development of subsequent NLP models BERT, ChatGPT, and their successors.
Career
[edit]Vaswani completed his engineering in Computer Science from BIT Mesra in 2002. In 2004, he enrolled at the University of Southern California for graduate studies.[3] He earned his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Southern California supervised by David Chiang.[4] He has worked as a researcher at Google,[5] where he was part of the Google Brain team. He was a co-founder of Adept AI Labs. He has since left the company.[6][7]
Vaswani is currently co-founder and CEO of Essential AI.
Notable works
[edit]Vaswani's most notable paper, "Attention Is All You Need", was published in 2017.[8] The paper introduced the Transformer model, which uses self-attention mechanisms instead of recurrence for sequence-to-sequence tasks. The model has been instrumental in the development of several subsequent state-of-the-art models in NLP, including BERT,[9] GPT-2, and GPT-3.
