Value Matrix (V) in Attention
In attention mechanisms, the Value matrix, denoted as , is a matrix that contains the set of value vectors for an input sequence. The dimensions of this matrix are , where is the sequence length (the number of value vectors) and is the dimension of each individual value vector. This is formally expressed as:
