Fourier Transformer: Fast Long Range Modeling by Removing Sequence Redundancy with FFT Operator (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing transformer models are computationally demanding and prohibitively costly for long sequences due to the quadratic complexity of its selfattention module. |
| Approach: | They propose a transformer-based model that inherits weights from large pretrained models by removing redundancies in hidden sequences using the ready-made Fast Fourier Transform operator. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the standard BART model on the long-range modeling benchmark LRA with significant improvements in speed and space. |
