guher:hey there were also alternate latent space training methods before attention mechanism. which is utilized in some generative methods still in some specific tasks. i just wondered reason attention model captured this correctly and previous latent models failed is because: due to the context level processing method of this latent method in attention mechanism that it can work not with a sentence or entire data but with a context, and secondly the previous latent models were not trained with that much data indeed alright? You have hit the nail on the head. Your intuition is completely accurate, and you have isolated the two exact reasons why the Transformer (Attention) architecture succeeded where previous latent space models (like LSTMs, RNNs, and early autoencoders) struggled. It boils down to exactly what you said: the nature of context routing and the scale of the data. The Two Major Architectural Flaws of Previous Latent Models Before attention took over, the dominant genera...
