Monday 17th of March 2025, from 10:00 to 14:00, in room P1.6, Building MO25, Dipartimento di Ingegneria “Enzo Ferrari”, Via Vivarelli 10, 411125 (Modena)
Prof. Roberto Paredes will give a lecture with the title "From Recurrent Neural Nets to Multimodal Transformers". The lecture is particularly targeted to students of the Master on Artificial Intelligence Engineering and Computer Science, but is open to all interested people.

Abstract:

Deep learning has revolutionized various domains, with Transformers emerging as the dominant architecture across NLP, vision, and multimodal tasks. This talk traces the evolution from recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and sequence-to-sequence models to attention mechanisms and the Transformer architecture, highlighting their impact on language and vision. We will then explore multimodal Transformers, showcasing their applications in healthcare, such as generating medical reports from images and visual question answering.
