Tang et al. (2018)[1]:

  • Self-attention is not better in terms of long-range dependency
  • Self-attention is better in WSD
  • Results from Tran et al. (2018)[2] that transformer performs worse than RNN in long-range dependency are due to hyperparameter choice

Hybrid architectures:

  • Conformer (Gulati et al. 2020)[3]
  • HaloNet - Local attention (Vaswani et al. 2021)[4]
  • BoTNet (Srinivas et al. 2021)[5]
  • CoatNet (Dai et al. 2021)[6]
  • and more (ConViT, LeViT, CMT,...)
