What changed
Combined local, random and global attention connections for long text sequences.
Scientific scope
Combined local, random and global attention connections for long text sequences. Linear cost assumes bounded attention neighborhoods; expressivity results have specified theoretical assumptions, not exact equality to every dense attention output.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. Linear cost assumes bounded attention neighborhoods; expressivity results have specified theoretical assumptions, not exact equality to every dense attention output.
