A Google Brain scientist (Vinyals, O., et al. (2015)) wrote the following:
This is astoundingly correct because now the applications have grown. Just think about the following sequence-to-sequence project ideas:
- Document summarization. Input sequence: a document. Output sequence: an abstract.
- Image super resolution. Input sequence: a low-resolution image. Output sequence: a high-resolution image.
- Video subtitles. Input sequence: video. Output sequence: text captions.
- Machine translation. Input sequence: text in source language. Output sequence: text in a target language.
These are exciting...
