Shape of Key Weight Matrix per Head
In a multi-head attention mechanism, the key weight matrix for an individual attention head, which can be denoted as , has a specific shape defined as . In this formula, is the dimension of the input representation, is the total dimension of the key projection across all heads, and is the number of attention heads.

In a multi-head attention mechanism with 'M' heads, an engineer makes an implementation error. Instead of creating a unique set of learnable weight matrices for the query, key, and value projections for each of the 'M' heads, the same single set of query, key, and value weight matrices is shared across all heads. What is the primary consequence of this error on the model's functionality?

In a neural network component that uses parallel processing 'channels' to analyze input, an input representation with a dimension of 512 is transformed. This transformation is split across 8 parallel channels. For the 'key' transformation, the total dimension across all 8 channels is also 512. What is the shape of the learnable weight matrix used for the 'key' transformation within a single one of these channels?
