Krause Attention improves Transformers with localized interactions

Researchers have introduced Krause Attention, a novel mechanism designed to improve Transformer models by addressing issues like representation collapse and attention sinks. This new approach replaces global aggregation with localized, distance-based interactions, inspired by bounded-confidence consensus dynamics. Krause Attention not only enhances performance across various domains including vision and language tasks but also reduces computational complexity from quadratic to linear with respect to sequence length.

    Krause Synchronization Transformers

    arXiv:2602.11534v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-attention in Transformers relies on globally normalized softmax weights, causing all tokens to compete for influence at every layer. When composed across depth, this interaction pattern induces strong synchronization …
