arXiv:2605. 18848v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper introduces Exact Linear Attention (ELA), a mechanism that achieves linear computational complexity for Transformer attention by exploiting the exact decomposition property of kernel functions, thereby eliminating approximation error.

arXiv:2606. 08105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When attention concentrates on a single token, a sink, what is the model actually computing?

arXiv:2607. 23050v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural scaling laws describe how loss decreases as models, data, and compute grow, but they do not answer a prior question: for a fixed task, what is the minimum model capacity required to solve it?

arXiv:2606. 20547v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We place the attention token on the group: a token is an element $g_i$ of a matrix Lie group $G$ -- a bare transformation, with no feature payload and no external action $\rho(g)$ carrying it.

arXiv:2607. 02386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Vision Transformers have achieved remarkable success across computer vision and language applications, the geometric evolution of their internal representations throughout training remains insufficiently understood.

arXiv:2607. 07478v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: FFT-based spectral preprocessing of learned query-key (Q/K) projections substantially improves transformer attention on character-level language modelling.

arXiv:2608. 05472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-head attention combines an input-dependent softmax routing with an input-independent linear value projection, so the per-sample operator mapping aggregated values to outputs is the same for every input set.

arXiv:2607. 22781v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High task performance does not show whether a model retains prediction-relevant structural information in its internal representation.

arXiv:2606. 18283v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The dense token-to-token interaction pattern of standard dot-product attention remains a central bottleneck in scaling Transformer architectures to long contexts.

arXiv:2606. 11585v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Kuramoto attention, a self-attention layer in which each hidden coordinate is an angle.

arXiv:2605. 27259v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose Kan Extension Transformers (KETs) as a categorical design language for a diverse group of Transformer implementations.

arXiv:2605. 04893v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: When a language model processes a hallucinated response, its attention routing tends to fail in one of two shapes: over-concentrating on a narrow set of positions, or spreading so diffusely that relevance is diluted, and the shape of the failure carries diagnostic signal.
