Domingos Says Schmidhuber Invented Recurrent Transformers

Pedro Domingos, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the University of Washington and author of The Master Algorithm, posted that recurrent transformers were invented by Schmidhuber save for the recurrent part and the transformer part. The statement appears in a single tweet from the account @pmddomingos. No independent sources in the packet confirm the claim or supply additional details about the exchange. The post stands as an attribution of credit for elements of the architecture rather than a first-party announcement from any inventor.
