- Its attention example turns seven words into 49 pairwise comparisons and points back to Section 4 of the source paper.
Field notes
The example explains quadratic attention growth by comparing seven words with a 7 × 7 grid of 49 comparisons. It places a source passage beside the explanation and identifies the relevant section of Attention Is All You Need. The page also proposes applying the same paper-to-diagram approach to books and illustrates it with a figure and equation from Brin and Page’s 1998 search paper.
