Generalized Neighborhood Attention: Multi-dimensional Sparse Attention at the Speed of Light

Ali Hassani, Fengzhe Zhou, Aditya Kane +13

Many sparse attention mechanisms such as Neighborhood Attention have typically failed to consistently deliver speedup over the self attention baseline. This is largely due to the l…

Cosmos-Transfer1: Conditional World Generation with Adaptive Multimodal Control

NVIDIA, :, Hassan Abu Alhaija +38

We introduce Cosmos-Transfer, a conditional world generation model that can generate world simulations based on multiple spatial control inputs of various modalities such as segmen…

Faster Neighborhood Attention: Reducing the O(n^2) Cost of Self Attention at the Threadblock Level

Ali Hassani, Wen-Mei Hwu, Humphrey Shi

Neighborhood attention reduces the cost of self attention by restricting each token's attention span to its nearest neighbors. This restriction, parameterized by a window size and…
