SEMA attention mechanism offers scalable, efficient alternative for computer vision

Researchers have introduced SEMA, a novel attention mechanism designed to improve scalability and efficiency in computer vision tasks. SEMA addresses limitations of traditional Transformer attention by incorporating token localization to maintain focus and arithmetic averaging for global context. Experiments on Imagenet-1k demonstrate that SEMA offers a scalable and effective alternative to linear attention, outperforming existing vision Mamba models at larger image scales with comparable parameter counts.

    SEMA: a Scalable and Efficient Mamba like Attention via Token Localization and Averaging

    arXiv:2506.08297v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Attention is the critical component of a transformer. Yet the quadratic computational complexity of vanilla full attention in the input size and the inability of its linear attention variant to focus have been challenges f…
