Some heads may rely mainly on nearby lexical or syntactic context, while others may depend on longer-range relations such as entity interactions, discourse links, or state changes. We present Asymmetric Attention Heads (AAH), a head-wise context- allocation framework that treats context length as an explicit per-head or per-group allocation variable. AAH groups heads using feature-derived statistics, organizes these groups hierarchically, and assigns causal local windows while preserving the standard flat MHA output interface. In 4096- token seed-0 experiments, several AAH-style local-allocation variants achieve lower validation loss than pure full attention. Short-budget ablations show that stable local allocation and head-window assignment structure matter, while fixed/local controls can be competitive with adaptive hierarchy. We interpret AAH as a structured head-wise context-allocation mechanism for quality and analysis, with Attention Coverage Ratio (ACR) reported as a selected-window routing diagnostic Comments: 30 pages, 4 figures Subjects: Computation and Language (cs.CL); Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI); Machine Learning (cs.LG) Cite as: arXiv:2608.19203 [cs.CL] (or arXiv:2608.19203v1 [cs.CL] for this version) https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2608.19203 arXiv-issued DOI via DataCite Submission history From: Zimu Zhao [view email] [v1] Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:36:01 UTC (34 KB) Full-text links: Access Paper: View a PDF of the paper titled Asymmetric Attention Heads: Structured Head-Wise Context Allocation for Transformer Attention, by Zimu Zhao View PDF HTML (experimental) TeX Source view license Current browse context: cs.CL new | recent | 2026-08 Change to browse by: cs cs.AI cs.LG References & Citations NASA ADS Google Scholar Semantic Scholar Loading...
