摘要	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.	Informer is a Transformer-based model introduced by Zhou et al. in 2021 for long-sequence time-series forecasting, using a ProbSparse self-attention mechanism that lowers the computational complexity of the standard Transformer to O(L log L). It is built for problems that demand predictions across thousands of future steps.
