arXiv:2512. 20661v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer-based pre-trained language models (PLMs) excel in text classification but suffer from attention dilution and attention sink effects, forcing models to over-focus on task-irrelevant tokens.

arXiv:2607. 24017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The empirical success of attention mechanism in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) often obscures its inherent, subtle flaws.

arXiv:2505. 15548v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autoregressive transformer language models frequently exhibit training instability when trained on long sequences, particularly under low-precision arithmetic.

arXiv:2607. 23054v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA), introduced in DeepSeek-V2, compresses key-value pairs through a shared low-rank bottleneck (cKV), achieving 81% KV-cache reduction during inference.

arXiv:2602. 01893v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a geometric framework for analysing multi-head attention in large language models (LLMs).
