Ashish Vaswani is a computer scientist known for his significant contributions to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP). He is one of the co-authors of the seminal paper "Attention is All You Need" which introduced the Transformer model, a novel architecture that uses a self-attention mechanism and has since become foundational to many state-of-the-art models in NLP. He was a co-founder of Adept AI Labs and a former staff research scientist at Google Brain.

Career
Vaswani completed his engineering in Computer Science from BIT Mesra in 2002. In 2004, he had moved to the USA to pursue higher studies at University of Southern California. He did his PhD at the University of Southern California. He has worked as a researcher at Google, where he was part of the Google Brain team. He was a co-founder of Adept AI Labs but left the company.

Notable Works
Vaswani's most notable work is the paper "Attention is All You Need", published in 2017. The paper introduced the Transformer model, which eschews the use of recurrence in sequence-to-sequence tasks and relies entirely on self-attention mechanisms. The model has been instrumental in the development of several subsequent state-of-the-art models in NLP, including BERT, GPT-2, and GPT-3.
