A new research paper proposes a method to better analyze the attention matrices within Transformer models. The paper highlights that standard comparison tools can yield contradictory results depending on whether the 'sink' token is included or excluded. By treating attention rows as compositional data and separating the sink term from the content term, researchers can achieve more accurate insights. This approach reveals that much of the observed entropy collapse during training is due to the sink token's growth, rather than attention sharpening. AI
