New Quat-Sphere-Vision model uses single quaternion for attention

Researchers have introduced Quat-Sphere-Vision (QSV), a novel sparse spherical vision model that utilizes a single learned unit quaternion per token for attention mechanisms. This approach replaces the traditional three learned projections (W_Q, W_K, W_V) with a single quaternion that handles both attention logits and feature transport. Experiments on CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100 datasets showed that removing the feature transport component reduced test accuracy by approximately four percentage points, while replacing learned attention weights with uniform averaging had a negligible impact.

    QSV: Quat-Sphere-Vision for Coupled Quaternion Attention on Spherical Lattices

    arXiv:2609.30592v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In standard attention, three separately learned projections decide how strongly a token attends to each neighbor ($W_Q$, $W_K$) and how the attended features are transformed before aggregation ($W_V$). We study Quat-Sphere-Vision (Q…
