Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing network inputs using an attention neural network that has one or more sparse attention sub-layers. Each sparse attention sub-layer is configured to apply a sparse attention mechanism that attends differently for input positions that are in a first proper subset of the input positions in the input to the sub-layer than for positions that are not in the first proper subset.
