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:2606. 31519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context Large Language Model inference is severely bottlenecked by the massive Key-Value (KV) cache, yet existing sparse attention methods often suffer from static fixed-budget (Top-k) retrieval or rely on proxy scores that are computationally expensive and biased.

arXiv:2606. 19150v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The remarkable success of Transformer-based models in natural language processing stems from architectural scaling, which leads to a large number of parameters and hinders deployment in resource-constrained environments.
