AdaRoPE: Not All Attention Heads Should Rotate and Scale Equally

arXiv:2607. 19363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) is widely adopted in Transformers to encode positional information, yet standard implementations enforce a uniform frequency schedule and scaling across all attention heads.

RAVE: Re-Allocating Visual Attention in Large Multimodal Models

RAVE (Re-Allocating Visual Attention) is a lightweight pair‑gating mechanism that adds a learned query‑key bias to pre‑softmax attention scores over visual keys, derived from pre‑RoPE query and key features. It requires no architectural changes to the backbone and can be trained end‑to‑end with the rest of the model. Across multiple multimodal benchmarks, RAVE improves standard attention by an average of 3 points, especially on perception‑intensive tasks such as multilingual OCR, chart understanding, document VQA, and scene text VQA.
