RelFlexformers introduce efficient 3D-Transformer attention with novel positional encodings

Researchers have introduced RelFlexformers, a novel class of 3D-Transformer models that utilize efficient attention mechanisms with integrable relative positional encodings. These models achieve a time complexity of O(L log L) for attention computation on input sequences of length L. By building on the theory of the Non-Uniform Fourier Transform, RelFlexformers can generalize existing efficient attention methods to unstructured and heterogeneous scenarios, making them suitable for tasks like modeling point clouds. Empirical evaluations on various 3D datasets have demonstrated quality improvements from these new attention modulation techniques. AI

    RelFlexformer: Efficient Attention 3D-Transformers for Integrable Relative Positional Encodings

    We present a new class of efficient attention mechanisms applying universal 3D Relative Positional Encoding (RPE) methods given by arbitrary integrable modulation functions $f$. They lead to the new class of 3D-Transformer models, called \textit{RelFlexformers}, flexibly integrat…
