Title: Gradient Boosting within a Single Attention Layer
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.03190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer attention computes a single softmax-weighted average over values -- a one-pass estimate that cannot correct its own errors. We introduce \emph{gradient-boosted attention}, which applies the principle of gradient boosting \emph{within} a single attention layer: a second attention pass, with its own learned projections, attends to the prediction error of the first and applies a gated correction. Under a squared reconstruction objective,
