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
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
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.
