arXiv:2605.22476v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Entity tracking requires maintaining and updating latent states for entities and attributes over long sequences. Recent task-specific attention operators can compress deep Transformer stacks into a few layers by performing multi-hop state propagation within a single layer, but their dense evaluation remains expensive. We show that in this setting, learned attention is strongly structured: most mass concentrates in local block-diagonal neighborhoods with a light cross-block residue. Exploiting this, we derive a blockwise evaluation of a resolvent-
This research addresses the computational intensity of current attention mechanisms in AI, which is a growing constraint as models scale up for more complex tasks like entity tracking.
Improving the efficiency of attention mechanisms directly impacts the scalability and practical application of advanced AI models, making them faster and more cost-effective to deploy.
The ability to run complex entity tracking models with subquadratic sequence complexity will enable their use in longer sequences and more real-time applications than previously feasible.
