WatchRecap

Accuracy, shown

Every number traces to the paper.

WatchRecap won’t put a figure on screen it can’t quote from your source. Here’s a real explainer of Attention Is All You Need — and the exact line behind each number it shows.

The receipts

Every number the film shows, next to the sentence it came from. 3 of 7 beats put a figure on screen; each one cites the paper. The rest carry no numbers, so they need no citation.

  1. On screen

    Old approach: one word at a time

    No number on screen — nothing to cite.
  2. On screen

    Sequential steps can’t be split up

    No number on screen — nothing to cite.
  3. On screen

    Attention: every word sees every word

    No number on screen — nothing to cite.
  4. On screen

    Base model: 12 hours on 8 P100 GPUs → beats all prior published systems (EN→DE)

    Source · p.2✓ verified
    “trained for as little as twelve hours on eight P100 GPUs”
  5. On screen

    Big model: > 2.0 BLEU above best prior results, incl. ensembles

    Source · p.8✓ verified
    “outperforms the best previously reported models (including ensembles) by more than 2.0 BLEU”
  6. On screen

    Faster when sequence length < representation size

    Source · p.6–7
    “faster than recurrent layers when the sequence length n is smaller than the representation dimensionality d”
  7. On screen

    Attention Is All You Need

    No number on screen — nothing to cite.

How it stays honest

Quote or cut

Every on-screen number must be backed by a verbatim line from the source. If it can’t be quoted, it doesn’t go on screen.

Checked against the source

Numbers are matched to the source text before the storyboard is yours to approve — guesses are left out, not smoothed over.

You approve first

Nothing is voiced or animated until you sign off on the storyboard, every figure and its citation in front of you.
