Most tools turn your PDF into messy text. We keep tables, formulas and images clean and easy to use anywhere.
The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks. We propose a new simple network architecture, the Transformer, based solely on attention mechanisms, dispensing with recurrence and convolutions entirely.
