Dzmitry Bahdanau, Kyunghyun Cho, and Yoshua Bengio introduced the soft-attention mechanism for sequence modeling. By allowing a language model to focus dynamically on specific, context-relevant words within an input sentence regardless of their spatial distance, they laid the core conceptual architectural path toward modern transformers.
