HyPE: Attention with Hyperbolic Biases for Relative Positional Encoding

In Transformer-based architectures, the attention mechanism is inherently permutation-invariant with respect to the input sequence's tokens. To impose sequential order, token positions are typically encoded using a scheme with either fixed or learnable parameters. We introduce Hyperbolic Positional Encoding (HyPE), a novel method that utilizes hyperbolic functions' properties to encode tokens' relative positions. This approach biases the attention mechanism without the necessity of storing the $O(L^2)$ values of the mask, with $L$ being the length of the input sequence. HyPE leverages preliminary concatenation operations and matrix multiplications, facilitating the encoding of relative distances indirectly incorporating biases into the softmax computation. This design ensures compatibility with FlashAttention-2 and supports the gradient backpropagation for any potential learnable parameters within the encoding. We analytically demonstrate that, by careful hyperparameter selection, HyPE can approximate the attention bias of ALiBi, thereby offering promising generalization capabilities for contexts extending beyond the lengths encountered during pretraining. The experimental evaluation of HyPE is proposed as a direction for future research.Comment: Independent Researc

Dragging the History Behind in Brackets. Intervista A Ivan Vladislavic

In this interview, South African author Ivan Vladislavic explores the relationship to his translators and the issues concerning the complexity and allusiveness of his language. He speaks about his history as a writer and editor in Post-apartheid South Africa and how to cope with social pressures for artists to present positive ‘nation-building’ images of the country. The interview examines one of his most recent work, Portrait with Keys – which has brought him more prominently to the attention of the European public – with particular reference to one of the postmodernist authors who influenced him the most, Italo Calvino. He talks about the importance of expanding fiction from its traditional forms and how he manages to weaves his work as a writer into his interest for architecture and visual art
