RoFormer: Enhanced Transformer with Rotary Position Embedding

Paper summary

RoFormer introduces rotary position embeddings that encode position through rotations of query and key representations. Their interaction carries relative-position dependence within attention, with evaluations of the resulting architecture.

Relevance to the project

A possible encoding reference for ordered bounded histories if attention is used. Temporal position and physical neuron position are distinct roles.

Transformer architecturePositional encodingAttention

Rotary encoding does not choose the project's spatial metric or history lengths.
