Description

While the usual attention mechanism successfully introduced edge features allowing to compute efficiently the inter-connection between two elements, one could consider more-object connections via a simplex system, which would generalize the concept of attention to any higher dimension, allowing a “hyper-graph” like attention model; see, e.g., arXiv:2309.02138.
