Scaled dot product attention conflates directional alignment and vector magnitude, limiting its effectiveness as a similarity metric in Transformer models. We introduce L1 augmented attention, a simple and computationally parallelizable modification that subtracts a learned, head specific L1 distance between queries and keys from the dot product score.
