arXiv:2608.02938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph attention normalizes neighborhood scores with softmax, the maximum-entropy choice under Shannon statistics. But homophilic and heterophilic graphs want different attention shapes, and one fixed normalization cannot serve bot…

arXiv:2511.10696v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sparse attention is crucial in long-context Transformers, which restricts each token to a limited neighborhood and thereby reduces the quadratic cost of full self-attention. Local windows capture nearby context effectively…
arXiv:2608.01662v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA) enables efficient long-context modeling through its Lightning Indexer. However, practical deployment remains constrained by the indexer's expensive $O(L^2)$ scoring overhead and the hardware-ineffic…
arXiv:2608.01676v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse attention is widely deployed in long-context serving stacks, yet no framework audits how discarding blocks changes the influence of specific content on model output. We first establish that the phenomenon is real and causal: …

arXiv:2603.06274v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The quadratic computational complexity of self-attention remains a fundamental bottleneck for scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) to long contexts, particularly during the pre-filling phase. In this paper, we rethink the …

arXiv:2608.03335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video diffusion transformers (vDiTs) generate high quality but pay quadratic self-attention cost, making inference prohibitive at video-token scales. The challenge is input-adaptive sparsity: selecting critical Q/K/V tokens with neg…
