Choosing the Right Attention Mechanism
An AI development team is building two different language models. Model A is a chatbot designed to generate human-like conversational responses one word at a time. Model B is designed to analyze legal documents and classify them into categories based on the full content of the document. Evaluate whether the same self-attention mechanism should be used for both Model A and Model B. Justify your reasoning by explaining how the information flow requirements differ between the two tasks.

Enumeration of Dot Products in Causal Self-Attention
A language model is designed to generate text one token at a time, predicting the next token based only on the ones that came before it. The image below shows four possible heatmaps (A, B, C, D) representing the attention scores between tokens in a 4-token sequence. The token making the query is on the vertical axis, and the token providing the key is on the horizontal axis. A darker square indicates that a query token is paying more attention to a key token. Which heatmap correctly illustrates the attention pattern required for this type of sequential generation model to function correctly?
[Image containing four 4x4 heatmaps labeled A, B, C, and D. A: A lower-triangular matrix, dark on and below the main diagonal. B: A full matrix, all squares are dark. C: An upper-triangular matrix, dark on and above the main diagonal. D: A diagonal matrix, dark only on the main diagonal.]
