Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface google-research/bigbird, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- mediumreadme#1Strengthen README's 'What is BigBird?' section with unique differentiators
Why:
CURRENTBigBird, is a sparse-attention based transformer which extends Transformer based models, such as BERT to much longer sequences. Moreover, BigBird comes along with a theoretical understanding of the capabilities of a complete transformer that the sparse model can handle.
COPY-PASTE FIXBigBird is a sparse-attention based transformer that extends models like BERT to much longer sequences. It uniquely combines local, global, and random attention patterns, offering a theoretically grounded approach to handle long contexts with linear complexity while maintaining full transformer capabilities. This drastically improves performance on various NLP tasks such as question answering and summarization.
- mediumtopics#2Add more specific application and mechanism keywords to topics
Why:
CURRENTbert, deep-learning, longer-sequences, nlp, transformer
COPY-PASTE FIXbert, deep-learning, longer-sequences, nlp, transformer, sparse-attention, question-answering, summarization, long-range-dependencies
- mediumreadme#3Improve visibility of examples in the README
Why:
