- TLDR:Post-training attention sparsification reduces the quadratic cumulative attention cost of pretrained Transformers by selecting a small set of context units (tokens or blocks) for each query. Existing trainable methods usually use a lightweight selector to score context units, followed by hard Top-K selection that blocks gradients from the language modeling loss. Consequently, these methods commonly distill layer-wise dense attention distributions. Although this encourages the selector to rank context units by dense attention weights in the original model, the ranking is not directly aligned wi
