What changed
Replaced encoder self-attention with real-valued outputs of Fourier transforms over sequence and hidden dimensions, retaining feed-forward blocks and studying speed–accuracy tradeoffs.
Scientific scope
Replaced encoder self-attention with real-valued outputs of Fourier transforms over sequence and hidden dimensions, retaining feed-forward blocks and studying speed–accuracy tradeoffs. Fourier mixing is not an approximation that preserves each attention matrix or output. FFT and dense-DFT implementations have different complexity and device tradeoffs. Reported speedups use particular encoder tasks and hardware and do not establish drop-in causal decoding equivalence.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
