Attention Based Architecture

Attention-based architectures, particularly transformer networks, are revolutionizing various fields by enabling models to selectively focus on relevant information within complex data. Current research emphasizes improving efficiency, addressing overfitting issues, and enhancing interpretability of these models, exploring variations like hybrid CNN-transformer designs and novel attention mechanisms such as focal and full-range attention. This focus is driven by the need for more efficient, robust, and explainable AI systems across diverse applications, including image processing, natural language processing, and time series forecasting.
