Why does the algorithm in "Self-attention Does Not Need $O(n^{2})$ Memory" require $O(log n)$ memory when $k, v$ pairs are not ordered?

I am reading Self-attention Does Not Need $O(n^{2})$ Memory which proposes an algorithm that requires $O(1)$ memory for one query and $O(log n)$ memory for self-attention, in theory. In practice the ...

Are mult-adds and FLOPs equivalent?

I am comparing different CNN architectures for edge implementation. Some papers describing architectures refer to mult-adds, like the MobileNet V1 paper, where it is claimed that this net has 569M ...

What are some resources regarding the complexity of training neural networks?

In the paper "Provable bounds for learning some deep representations", an autoencoder like a model is constructed with discrete weights and several results are proven using some random-graph theory, ...
