Understanding and Exploiting Diagonal Attention Sparsity in Autoregressive Image Generation

The paper investigates how attention sparsity behaves in autoregressive image generation, finding a distinct diagonal sparsity pattern due to spatial locality of visual tokens. It introduces a diagonal‑aware sparse attention mechanism that skips KV entries along the diagonal within a recent window, achieving up to 3.1× higher throughput and 1.19× lower latency with less than 2% quality loss compared to dense inference.

Partition the Support, Reconstruct the Residual: Training-Free Sparse Attention for Video Generation and World Models

The paper introduces SparsePR, a training‑free block‑sparse attention method for video transformers that partitions query‑key responses and reconstructs the residual via probe‑fitted affine corrections. By pairing sampled‑query key responses into K/V groups and using centroids to guide shared routing, SparsePR reduces attention‑reconstruction error across diverse video generation and world‑model tasks. Experiments show consistent error reductions, with probe fitting contributing most of the improvement, while maintaining generation quality at 22.0–26.0% executed‑pair density and delivering 1.48×–2.61× speedups.
