Attention Output as a Weighted Sum of Values
The output of a self-attention layer for a single query vector, , is computed as a weighted sum of all value vectors, , in the sequence. The attention weights, , which are calculated separately, determine the contribution of each value vector to the final output for the query. This relationship is expressed by the formula: where is the sequence length.

A model is processing a sequence of three tokens. For the query at position 2, the un-normalized attention scores with respect to the keys at positions 0, 1, and 2 are calculated as [1.0, 2.0, 3.0] respectively. What is the final attention weight that the token at position 2 will assign to the token at position 1?

True or False: In a self-attention mechanism, if you add the same constant value to all un-normalized attention scores corresponding to a single query vector, the final normalized attention weights for that query will change.

Calculating an Attention Output Vector
In a self-attention mechanism, the output for a given input element is a weighted sum of 'value' vectors from all elements in the sequence. Consider the calculation for the word 'sat' in the phrase 'The cat sat on the mat'. If the attention weights from 'sat' to the other words are: 'The': 0.05, 'cat': 0.45, 'sat': 0.05, 'on': 0.0, 'the': 0.0, 'mat': 0.45. Which of the following statements best describes the resulting output vector for 'sat'?
In a self-attention mechanism, the output for a specific token is calculated as a weighted sum of 'value' vectors from all tokens in the sequence. If the attention weight connecting a query token to a specific value token is exactly zero, that value token has no contribution to the final output for the query token.
