Implementation of MultiScreen

MultiScreen

Implementation of Multiscreen proposed by Ken Nakanishi for Screening is Enough

Basically it is a non-softmax attention with ReLU squared activation, content similarity thresholding, and aggressive normalization of the values.

Install

$ pip install multiscreen

Usage

import torch
from multiscreen import MultiScreen

multi_screen = MultiScreen(
    num_tokens = 256,
    dim = 512,
    depth = 6,
    heads = 8,
    dim_keys = 16,     # paper says 16 or 32
    dim_values = 64    # paper says 64 or 128
)

token_ids = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 1024))

logits = multi_screen(token_ids)
assert logits.shape == (1, 1024, 256)
