Reformer/Evidence
Method evidence record

Reformer

The Reformer is an efficient variant of the Transformer architecture introduced by Kitaev, Kaiser, and Levskaya at ICLR 2020. It addresses the prohibitive O(L²) memory and computational cost of standard self-attention for long sequences. The key innovations are locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) attention, which approximates full attention in O(L log L) time, and reversible residual layers that dramatically reduce activation memory during training.
