This method is designed to significantly speed up the previously proposed Forgetting Transformer (FoX) without any performance degradation. FoX adds a forget gate to the Transformer, and the resulting attention mechanism can also be seen as a data-dependent and learnable version of ALiBi, as follows: The core idea of Adaptive Computation Pruning (ACP) is simple: we don’t need to waste compute on things that we forget. Concretely, if $D_{ij}$ is far below zero (e.g., -1000), then the term $\exp(q_i^\top k_j + D_{ij})$ is likely to be zero after normalization, and thus any computation involved in this term could be pruned.…
