New method uses black-box vector search for efficient LLM attention

Researchers have developed a novel method for sparse attention mechanisms in large language models by leveraging black-box vector search. This approach aims to improve attention estimation over a large number of tokens by efficiently retrieving the most relevant keys. The proposed algorithms offer a trade-off between the number of search indices and the keys retrieved, with one method achieving near-optimal performance using logarithmic indices and another achieving constant retrieved keys with augmented data. AI
