In a memory-efficient attention mechanism, the output for a token at position i is calculated using the formula: Output = (q'_i * μ_i) / (q'_i * ν_i). In this formula, q'_i is the token's processed query, while μ_i and ν_i are aggregations of historical information from all tokens up to and including position i. Specifically, μ_i aggregates past key-value products, and ν_i aggregates past keys. What is the primary function of the denominator, q'_i * ν_i?

Evaluating a Modification to the Linear Attention Formula

In the formula for calculating a linear attention output, Output = (q'_i * μ_i) / (q'_i * ν_i), where q'_i is the transformed query, μ_i is the accumulated key-value state, and ν_i is the accumulated key state, what is the primary role of the denominator term q'_i * ν_i?

Recursive Formula for Memory as a Cumulative Average

A recurrent model with an internal state h is processing a sequence of inputs. The state is updated at each step according to the rule h_i = f(h_{i-1}, input_i), where h_{i-1} is the state from the previous step and input_i is the current input. When the model processes the third input in a sequence, what information does the term h_2 (the state after the second input) represent in the computation for the new state h_3?

Analysis of Sequential Information Processing

A neural network processes a sequence of inputs by updating a hidden state h at each step i using the formula: h_i = f(h_{i-1}, input_i). Which component in this formula is directly responsible for carrying forward a compressed summary of the entire sequence processed up to the previous step (i-1)?
