Recurrent neural networks are effective models to process sequences. However, they are unable to learn long-term dependencies because of their inherent sequential nature. As a solution, Vaswani et al. introduced the Transformer, a model…

We consider the well-studied Sparse Fourier transform problem, where one aims to quickly recover an approximately Fourier $k$-sparse vector $\widehat{x} \in \mathbb{C}^{n^d}$ from observing its time domain representation $x$. In the exact…
