Burst and Memory-aware Transformer: capturing temporal heterogeneity

Burst patterns, characterized by their temporal heterogeneity, have been observed across a wide range of domains, encompassing event sequences from neuronal firing to various facets of human activities. Recent research on predicting event sequences leveraged a Transformer based on the Hawkes process, incorporating a self-attention mechanism to capture long-term temporal dependencies. To effectively handle bursty […]
