arXiv:2608. 11427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Full attention exposes every token pair, whereas kernel attention compresses a sequence into a fixed-dimensional sketch.
arXiv:2608. 04243v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head attention layers produce vector representations that support multiple downstream tasks.
arXiv:2608. 11427v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Full attention exposes every token pair, whereas kernel attention compresses a sequence into a fixed-dimensional sketch.
arXiv:2502. 01015v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Task arithmetic, representing downstream tasks through linear operations on task vectors, has emerged as a simple yet powerful paradigm for transferring knowledge across diverse settings.
Full attention exposes every token pair, whereas kernel attention compresses a sequence into a fixed-dimensional sketch. We show that this distinction becomes exponential at the first context length containing two competing candidates.
arXiv:2606. 07205v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The attention mechanism is a cornerstone of modern transformer architectures.
arXiv:2608. 03294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the problem of learning multi-head softmax attention from black-box input-output access.
arXiv:2509. 07963v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The core component of attention is the scoring function, which transforms the inputs into low-dimensional queries and keys and takes the dot product of each pair.
arXiv:2606. 07713v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The attention mechanism is the dominant computational bottleneck in modern transformer-based AI.
arXiv:2606. 04032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformers have become the standard solution for various AI tasks, with the query, key, and value (QKV) attention formulation playing a central role.
arXiv:2606. 17781v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of Large Language Models (LLMs) has intensified the need for specialized hardware accelerators that can satisfy stringent inference latency and power constraints.
arXiv:2510. 04500v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work demonstrates how increasing the number of neurons in a network without increasing its total number of non-zero parameters improves performance.
arXiv:2606. 11673v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard dot-product self-attention computes, in a single layer, only pairwise (order-2) interactions between tokens; representing a generic order-$k$ interaction is known to require either super-quadratic resources in one layer or composition across depth.
arXiv:2604. 00757v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Vision Language Models show impressive performance across image and video understanding tasks, yet their computational cost grows rapidly with the number of visual tokens.
