Jakob Uszkoreit

Co-inventor of the transformer and founder of Inceptive

  • Co-authored "Attention Is All You Need" (2017) as a researcher at Google.
  • Helped develop foundational self-attention mechanisms that replaced recurrent architectures in NLP.
  • Founded Inceptive, a company applying deep learning to biological sequence design and RNA therapeutics.

Jakob Uszkoreit is a German machine learning researcher who contributed to the transformer architecture during his time at Google. After co-authoring the influential 2017 paper, he pivoted to computational biology and founded Inceptive, which uses AI to design novel RNA molecules for therapeutic applications.
