# Answer: The paper "Attention Is All You Need" proposes a new network architecture called the Transformer, which is based solely on attention mechanisms. It suggests that complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks can be replaced with a simpler architecture that connects the encoder and decoder through attention. The paper discusses how this approach can improve sequence transduction models, such as neural machine translation.
