These are deep neural net papers, specifically in NLP. Explanation: why the model (the deep neural net, that is) is doing what it's doing. Attention: a particular technique used in certain deep net models, invented a few years ago, that originally showed remarkable performance improvements in NLP (natural language processing) tasks, but has recently been applied in vision and elsewhere.
