Medium Difficulty Summary
The paper proposes Dynamically Composable Multi-Head Attention (DCMHA), a new attention architecture that addresses the limitations of traditional Multi-Head Attention (MHA) in Transformer models. MHA’s independent attention heads lead to low-rank bottleneck and head redundancy issues. DCMHA solves these problems by introducing a
