Google Signs Pentagon Deal for Classified AI Use
Google Pentagon AI deal enables classified use of models for government operations, highlighting growing military adoption and debate over AI safeguards
Sequence-to-sequence, or Seq2Seq, describes models that map an input sequence to an output sequence whose length may differ. Machine translation converts words in one language into another, speech recognition maps audio frames to text, and summarization produces a shorter sequence from a longer document. Many Seq2Seq systems use an encoder to represent the input and a decoder to generate output step by step, often with attention between them. Transformer encoder–decoder architectures largely replaced earlier recurrent designs. Training typically uses paired examples and token-level loss, while inference relies on greedy, beam, or sampling-based decoding. Quality depends on alignment, context limits, data coverage, and evaluation beyond surface overlap.
