L1 Augmented Attention as an Improved Vector Similarity Metric

arXiv:2607.18027v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaled dot product attention conflates directional alignment and vector magnitude, limiting its effectiveness as a similarity metric in Transformer models. We introduce L1 augmented attention, a simple and computationally parallelizable modification that subtracts a lea
