Researchers have analyzed the internal workings of self-attention models, focusing on the query-key and output-value circuits. They found that different parameterizations of these circuits can lead to sharper attention allocation, meaning the model focuses more intensely on relevant tokens. Through gradient-flow analysis, the study demonstrates that a faster learning rate for the query-key circuit relative to the output-value circuit results in this sharper attention, without sacrificing predictive performance. This finding offers improved interpretability for attention mechanisms. AI
