The idea behind ECA is quite simple. Unlike SE which reduces the channel means into a smaller hidden layer, it directly uses a 1d convolution kernel on the channel means themselves, avoiding the need for dimensionality reduction. The results are undeniable: ECA is a clear improvement over SE.

SSOG (Sum Of Separable Gaussians) instead learns a few Gaussian atoms for each head and only geometrically steers them based on the query token.

The model performed reasonably well on several benchmarks, but I ran into a major problem with long-range recall .

So this was my question: when a model line updates, does the fitted instrument survive, or do you refit every release?

First of all, is it normal for AC and reviewer discussion phases to be this long? This is particularly frustrating given that 5 out of the 6 reviewers in my two papers did not address the rebuttals.
