Rather than all this effort to work around the flaws of the transformer model, maybe researchers should be looking for a better architecture altogether.
The absolutely insane amount of compute that transformers consume could probably be better used for neuroevolutionary search.
Why do you think so? Many people tried neuroinspired stuff and had no results. Entire field of comp neurosci produced what exactly over the past decade? People invest in transformers because they work while everything else so far doesn’t.

Abstract:
The transformer architecture has emerged as a powerful model for handling sequential data across various domains. Despite its success, the fixed nature of its attention mechanism often restricts its ability to adapt to the dynamic nature of real-world data sequences. In this paper, we propose a novel Cyclical Attention Mechanism (CAM) that augments the standard transformer architecture. Unlike conventional attention mechanisms which allocate attention statically based on previous layers, the CAM operates in a cyclical fashion, allowing for a dynamic, recurrent redistribution of attention over the sequence at each layer of the transformer. This cyclical process is facilitated through a novel temporal feedback loop that integrates information from both previous and subsequent layers, allowing for a more nuanced understanding of long-term dependencies within the data. Moreover, the proposed mechanism introduces an adaptive temporal gating system that intelligently modulates the flow of information through the cycles, ensuring optimal retention and refinement of relevant information throughout the network. We demonstrate through extensive experiments on various benchmark datasets that the Cyclical Attention Mechanism significantly improves the model's ability to handle long-range dependencies, leading to substantial improvements in performance across multiple tasks including language modeling, translation, and sequence labeling. Our findings pave the way for a new line of research into dynamic attention mechanisms within transformer architectures, showcasing the potential for enhanced performance and adaptability in handling complex sequential data[1].
I know, I find it tiresome too when people share their ChatGPT responses, but this really struck me. We are very, very close to those being indistinguishable.
* I'd hate to be trying to sort out valid from invalid papers these days.
* How close are AIs to doing AI research?
* If an AI can predict something similar to your paper, is it more or less likely to be valid/true/reproduceable?
It means that ChatGPT has seen too many papers.
Honestly, when I was a PhD student back then, every time I review papers, I felt like are these papers written by me because I would write them that way LoL

Almost certainly not, but I wonder how well it does at that?
Come up with a (fake) way to improve the transformer architecture, then write the title and abstract.
