Welcome to your interview.
The question is on your right: Transformers vs RNNs and LSTMs. Take a moment with it first.
Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.
You are working on an NLP system that processes text for classification, extraction, or generation. Your team is deciding whether to use a transformer model or a recurrent model such as an RNN or LSTM.
What are transformers and how do they differ from RNNs/LSTMs?
