PoM: A Linear-Time Replacement for Attention with the Polynomial Mixer
This paper is the result of doing a lab-wide hackathon on an idea I've had for some time. Probably the paper with the highest number of authors I've ever done.
It's a CVPR Findings 26.
Thread 🧵👇
This paper introduces the Polynomial Mixer (PoM), a novel token mixing mechanism with linear complexity that serves as a drop-in replacement for self-attention. PoM aggregates input tokens into a comp...

I don't care much about the CVPR Best Paper Award criteria.
Usually it means nothing, as least much less than Test of Time award. It never mattered before, it will never matter in the future.
I will change my mind, when the "Best Paper" will also get test of time award.
