Prism Transformer: Progressive Head Schedules for Hierarchical Attention Processing
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
arXiv:2606.27449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head attention conventionally partitions the hidden dimension equally across all heads at every layer, enforcing an identical representational subspace dimension (dh = dmodel/h) throughout the models depth. In this work, we identify this uniform allocation as a fundamental structural bottleneck: due to their restricted dimensional space, early-layer heads are unable to faithfully capture complex, high-dimensional contextual patterns.
