    Convolutions for Sequence Modeling

    After a very quick read, that's my understanding too: It's just KNN search. So I agree on points 1-3. When something works well, I don't care much about point 4.

    I've had only mixed success with KNN search. Maybe I haven't done it right? Nothing seems to work quite as well for me as explicit token-token interactions by some form of attention, which as we all know is too costly for long sequences (O(n²)). Lately I've been playing with https://github.com/hazyresearch/safari , which uses a lot less compute and seems promising. Otherwise, for long sequences I've yet to find something better than https://github.com/HazyResearch/flash-attention for n×n interactions and https://github.com/glassroom/heinsen_routing for n×m interactions. If anyone here has other suggestions, I'd love to hear about them.

  4. heinsen_routing

    Reference implementation of "An Algorithm for Routing Vectors in Sequences" (Heinsen, 2022) and "An Algorithm for Routing Capsules in All Domains" (Heinsen, 2019), for composing deep neural networks.
