Frequency-Domain Latent Attention Gating for Cross-Domain Token Aggregation

arXiv:2606.08191v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Token aggregation is a common bottleneck in models that map token representations to sample-level predictions, yet most pooling methods operate only in the original token domain. We propose FLaG, a plug-in aggregation module that transforms token representations with the real FFT, summarizes spectral components with learnable latent queries, applies a channel-wise gate, and reconstructs enhanced time-domain tokens for final pooling. We evaluate FLaG on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) activity prediction with ESM2, image classification with ResNet18 o

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous drive for more efficient AI model architectures and specialized applications in areas like synthetic biology makes novel token aggregation methods crucial.

Why it’s important

Improved token aggregation can significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of AI models across diverse domains, particularly for complex biological and image data, reducing training costs and improving accuracy.

What changes

This new FLaG module offers a more sophisticated method for processing token representations, potentially leading to more powerful and generalizable AI applications in critical scientific fields.
