LightConv is a type of depthwise convolution for sequential modelling which shares certain output channels and whose weights are normalized across the temporal dimension using a softmax. Compared to self-attention, LightConv has a fixed context window and it determines the importance of context elements with a set of weights that do not change over time steps. LightConv computes the following for the i-th element in the sequence and output channel c:

LightConv(X, W_(ceil(cH/d),:), i, c) = DepthwiseConv(X,softmax(W_(ceil(cH/d),:)), i, c)

Papers per year tagged with LightConv: 2019 to 2019, peak 1 1 0 2019: 1 paper 2019
Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (1 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

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).
