Absolute Position Encodings

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Absolute Position Encodings are a type of position embeddings for [Transformer-based models] where positional encodings are added to the input embeddings at the bottoms of the encoder and decoder stacks. The positional encodings have the same dimension d_(model) as the embeddings, so that the two can be summed. In the original implementation, sine and cosine functions of different frequencies are used:
PE(pos, 2i) = sin(pos/10000^(2i/d_(model)))
PE(pos, 2i+1) = cos(pos/10000^(2i/d_(model)))
where pos is the position and i is the dimension. That is, each dimension of the positional encoding corresponds to a sinusoid. The wavelengths form a geometric progression from 2π to 10000 2̇π. This function was chosen because the authors hypothesized it would allow the model to easily learn to attend by relative positions, since for any fixed offset k, PEₚₒₛ₊ₖ can be represented as a linear function of PEₚₒₛ.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
