Unique Hard Attention: A Tale of Two Sides (2025.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Understanding the expressive power of transformers has attracted attention . many studies analyze unique hard attention transformers, where attention selects a single position that maximizes the attention scores. |
| Approach: | They propose to use unique hard attention to select a single position that maximizes attention scores . they show that models with leftmost-hard attention are equivalent to soft attention . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models with leftmost-hard attention are equivalent to soft attention, suggesting they may better approximate real-world transformers than right-attention models. |
