Robustness is a basic property of any control system. In the context of linear output regulation, it was proved that embedding an internal model of the exogenous signals is necessary and sufficient to achieve tracking of the desired…

Softmax attention defines an interaction through $d_h$ head dimensions, but not all dimensions carry equal weight once real text passes through. We decompose the attention logit field into a learned component and a generated component and…
