Sparse attention offers a promising strategy to extend long-context capabilities in Transformer LLMs, yet its efficiency-accuracy trade-offs remain unclear due to the lack of comprehensive evaluation. We address this gap with the…

Transformers are powerful sequence models, but require time and memory that grows quadratically with the sequence length. In this paper we introduce sparse factorizations of the attention matrix which reduce this to $O(n \sqrt{n})$. We also…

Standard transformer attention computes pairwise similarity between queries and keys, treating all tokens as equally salient regardless of their intrinsic informational content. In turbulent fluid dynamics, coherent structures -- the…

Identifying vulnerable transmission lines in power grids before a cascading failure occurs is challenging: existing methods can learn inter-line failure correlations from cascade data, but they are trained and evaluated on a single grid,…

Attention is a key part of the transformer architecture. It is a sequence-to-sequence mapping that transforms each sequence element into a weighted sum of values. The weights are typically obtained as the softmax of dot products between…
