Raw abstract

Recent advances in large-scale neural architectures have enabled remarkable improvements across NLP tasks. However, the computational demands of these models remain a significant barrier to adoption in real-world settings. We propose SPARSE-ATTN, a novel attention mechanism that reduces quadratic complexity to near-linear through dynamic token pruning guided by a lightweight learned gating network. Experiments on GLUE and SQuAD 2.0 demonstrate 97.3% performance retention with 62% fewer FLOPs. We identify three key failure modes under distribution shift and discuss implications for deployment in resource-constrained environments.
