Synthesizer: Rethinking Self-Attention for Transformer Models

ICML 2021spotlight

The dot product self-attention is known to be central and indispensable to state-of-the-art Transformer models. But is it really required? This paper investigates the true importance and contribution of the dot product-based self-attention mechanism on the performance of Transformer models. Via exte…
