Transformer architecture has three unfinished promises, paper argues

A recent paper argues that the Transformer architecture, while revolutionary, has three fundamental limitations that remain unaddressed. These limitations stem from the self-attention mechanism's single functional form for all token relationships. The paper identifies gaps in handling distinct relation types (adjacent, long-range, and meta-relations), the static nature of positional encoding, and the lack of explicit mechanisms for managing computational complexity.
