New Lie-Algebra Attention Treats Tokens as Group Elements

Researchers have introduced a novel attention mechanism called Lie-Algebra Attention, which treats tokens as elements of a matrix Lie group. This approach allows attention scores to be derived from the intrinsic geometry of relative poses rather than relying on learned kernels. Experiments on sequence completion tasks involving SE(2), SO(3), and Aff(2) demonstrate that this closed-form score matches or outperforms learned MLP kernels, using significantly fewer parameters and maintaining invariance.

    The Token Is a Group Element: On Lie-Algebra Attention over Matrix Lie Groups

    arXiv:2606.20547v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We place the attention token on the group: a token is an element $g_i$ of a matrix Lie group $G$ -- a bare transformation, with no feature payload and no external action $\rho(g)$ carrying it. To our knowledge this is the first atte…

    The Token Is a Group Element: On Lie-Algebra Attention over Matrix Lie Groups

    We place the attention token on the group: a token is an element $g_i$ of a matrix Lie group $G$ -- a bare transformation, with no feature payload and no external action $ρ(g)$ carrying it. To our knowledge this is the first attention construction whose tokens are bare matrix Lie…
