Large-scale video-language pretraining enables strong generalization across multimodal tasks but often incurs prohibitive computational costs. Although recent advances in masked visual modeling help mitigate this issue, they still suffer from two fundamental limitations: severe visual information lo
Linear attention mitigates the quadratic complexity of softmax attention but suffers from a critical loss of expressiveness. We identify two primary causes: (1) The normalization operation cancels the query norm, which breaks the correlation between a query's norm and the spikiness (entropy) of the …
Linear attention has emerged as a promising alternative to softmax-based attention, leveraging kernelized feature maps to reduce complexity from quadratic to linear in sequence length. However, the non-negative constraint on feature maps and the relaxed exponential function used in approximation lea…
