SCOPE framework boosts sparse attention efficiency in video DiTs

Researchers have developed SCOPE, a novel framework designed to enhance the efficiency of sparse attention mechanisms in Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for video processing. This method addresses limitations in existing sparse attention techniques by employing subspace clustering and an adaptive per-head Top-K estimation strategy. SCOPE partitions keys into temporal, height, and width subspaces for clustering and dynamically determines the optimal number of keys to retain per head, thereby improving fine-grained attention and avoiding overly concentrated softmax distributions. Experiments show SCOPE consistently outperforms current training-free baselines, achieving significant speedups and maintaining high fidelity. AI

IMPACT Improves efficiency of video processing models, potentially enabling higher resolution or faster inference.

    SCOPE: Subspace Clustering with Online Per-Head Top-K Estimation for Sparse Video Attention

    arXiv:2608.12780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) incur quadratic self-attention cost over spatiotemporal tokens. Existing training-free sparse attention methods often construct sparse masks from block-level or cluster-level proxy scores, which can obs…
