Computational Cost of Self-Attention in Transformers

The self-attention mechanism, a core component of the Transformer architecture, exhibits a computational complexity that scales quadratically with the length of the input sequence. This characteristic makes it prohibitively expensive and impractical to train or deploy Transformer-based models on tasks involving very long texts.
