probsparse self-attention

Probsparse self-attention是一种稀疏的自注意力机制，它可以在保持模型性能的同时减少计算量。在这种机制中，只有与当前位置相关的一小部分词汇被用于计算注意力权重，从而减少了计算量。这种方法在自然语言处理任务中被广泛应用，特别是在处理长文本时，可以显著提高模型的效率和准确性。

ProbSparse self-attention

ProbSparse self-attention is a variant of self-attention mechanism used in deep learning models for natural language processing tasks. It is designed to reduce the computational complexity of self-attention while maintaining the same level of accuracy.

The traditional self-attention mechanism computes a weighted sum of all the input tokens, which can be computationally expensive for long sequences. ProbSparse self-attention, on the other hand, only considers a subset of the input tokens for each query token, which significantly reduces the number of computations required.

The subset of input tokens is selected using a probabilistic sampling technique, where each input token is assigned a probability of being selected based on its relevance to the current query token. The most relevant tokens are more likely to be selected, while the less relevant tokens have a lower probability of being selected.

ProbSparse self-attention has been shown to be effective in reducing the computational cost of self-attention in various natural language processing tasks, including machine translation, text classification, and language modeling.

ProbSparse self-attention与self-attention的区别

ProbSparse self-attention是一种稀疏化的self-attention模型，与传统的self-attention模型有所不同。传统的self-attention模型在计算注意力权重时，需要对所有输入序列的位置进行计算。而ProbSparse self-attention模型则是通过对输入序列进行采样，只对部分序列位置进行计算，从而达到稀疏化的效果。

这种稀疏化的方法能够大幅度减少计算量，提高模型的效率。同时，ProbSparse self-attention模型能够保持与传统self-attention模型相同的性能，因为它在计算注意力权重时，仍然考虑了所有的输入序列位置，只是在计算中进行了采样。

因此，ProbSparse self-attention与传统的self-attention相比，具有更高的效率和同样的性能。
