arXiv:2607. 18759v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers with relative positional encodings often extrapolate to sequences longer than those seen during training, whereas transformers with learned absolute encodings typically do not.

arXiv:2511. 10696v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sparse attention is crucial in long-context Transformers, which restricts each token to a limited neighborhood and thereby reduces the quadratic cost of full self-attention.

arXiv:2512. 11784v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Softmax attention is a central component of transformer architectures, yet its nonlinear structure poses significant challenges for theoretical analysis.

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: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:2607. 20214v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The quadratic $N\times N$ attention score matrix remains a central obstacle to extending Transformers to longer input lengths.
