advanced Published 6 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Apply the principle of gradient boosting within a single attention layer
  2. Use a second attention pass with learned projections to attend to the prediction error of the first pass
  3. Apply a gated correction to the prediction error
  4. Train the model under a squared reconstruction objective to optimize the gradient-boosted attention mechanism
