Efficient Attention Mechanisms and Memory Optimization in Deep Learning

Attention Mechanisms Multi-Head Attention The attention mechanism computes: The scaling factor \(\sqrt{d_k}\) prevents large inner product values that could cause gradient instability. Assuming Q and K elements have mean 0 and variance \(\sigma^2\), the variance of \(QK^T\) grows with \(d_k\). Scaling by \(\sqrt{d_k}\) maintains stable varianc ...
