Researchers have introduced Lapis, a novel spiking attention mechanism designed for spiking vision transformers. This new approach scores token pairs based on the L1 distance between their query and key first-spike latency vectors, mapping this distance through a Laplacian kernel. Lapis aims to improve efficiency by reducing the computational cost of attention mechanisms, achieving high accuracy on benchmarks like CIFAR-10 and ImageNet-1K while significantly lowering energy consumption compared to traditional dense dot-product attention.
