What is a sequence-to-sequence task?
A task that converts an input sequence of tokens to an output sequence of tokens.
sequence-to-sequence task explained in plain English
A task that converts an input sequence of tokens to an output sequence of tokens. For example, two popular kinds of sequence-to-sequence tasks are: Translators: - Sample input sequence: "I love you." - Sample output sequence: "Je t'aime." Question answering: - Sample input sequence: "Do I need my car in New York City?" - Sample output sequence: "No. Keep your car at home."
Example
Practitioners refer to sequence-to-sequence task when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
