# ruvector-attention SDK Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The ruvector-attention SDK provides high-level, ergonomic APIs for building attention mechanisms. It includes three main components:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Builder API** - Fluent interface for configuring attention
|
||||
2. **Pipeline API** - Composable operations with normalization and residuals
|
||||
3. **Presets** - Ready-to-use configurations for common models
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a simple multi-head attention
|
||||
let attention = multi_head(768, 12)
|
||||
.dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.causal(true)
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Use it
|
||||
let query = vec![0.5; 768];
|
||||
let keys = vec![&query[..]; 10];
|
||||
let values = vec![&query[..]; 10];
|
||||
|
||||
let output = attention.compute(&query, &keys, &values)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Presets
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::presets::*;
|
||||
|
||||
// BERT-style attention
|
||||
let bert = AttentionPreset::Bert.builder(768).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// GPT-style causal attention
|
||||
let gpt = AttentionPreset::Gpt.builder(768).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Flash attention for long sequences
|
||||
let flash = AttentionPreset::FlashOptimized.builder(1024).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatic selection based on sequence length
|
||||
let auto = for_sequences(512, 8192).build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Building Pipelines
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a transformer block
|
||||
let attention = multi_head(768, 12).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
let pipeline = AttentionPipeline::new()
|
||||
.add_attention(attention)
|
||||
.add_dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.add_residual()
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm);
|
||||
|
||||
// Run the pipeline
|
||||
let output = pipeline.run(&query, &keys, &values)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Builder API
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Attention Types
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Scaled Dot-Product Attention
|
||||
|
||||
The fundamental attention mechanism: `softmax(QK^T / √d)V`
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = scaled_dot(512).build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Multi-Head Attention
|
||||
|
||||
Parallel attention heads for diverse representation learning:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = multi_head(768, 12)
|
||||
.dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Flash Attention
|
||||
|
||||
Memory-efficient O(n) attention using tiled computation:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = flash(1024, 128) // dim, block_size
|
||||
.causal(true)
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Linear Attention
|
||||
|
||||
O(n) complexity using kernel feature maps:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = linear(512, 256) // dim, num_features
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. Local-Global Attention
|
||||
|
||||
Sliding window + global tokens (Longformer-style):
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = local_global(512, 256) // dim, window_size
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 6. Hyperbolic Attention
|
||||
|
||||
Attention in hyperbolic space for hierarchical data:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = hyperbolic(512, -1.0) // dim, curvature
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 7. Mixture-of-Experts Attention
|
||||
|
||||
Learned routing to specialized experts:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = moe(512, 8, 2) // dim, num_experts, top_k
|
||||
.expert_capacity(1.25)
|
||||
.jitter_noise(0.01)
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Builder Options
|
||||
|
||||
All builders support these common options:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let attention = AttentionBuilder::new(512)
|
||||
.multi_head(8) // Number of heads
|
||||
.dropout(0.1) // Dropout probability
|
||||
.causal(true) // Causal masking
|
||||
.expert_capacity(1.25) // MoE capacity factor
|
||||
.jitter_noise(0.01) // MoE routing noise
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Pipeline API
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating Pipelines
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
let pipeline = AttentionPipeline::new()
|
||||
.add_attention(attention)
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm)
|
||||
.add_dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.add_residual()
|
||||
.add_custom(|x| {
|
||||
// Custom transformation
|
||||
x.iter().map(|v| v.max(0.0)).collect()
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Normalization Types
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Layer Normalization (standard)
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm)
|
||||
|
||||
// RMS Normalization (simpler)
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::RMSNorm)
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch Normalization
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::BatchNorm)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-built Transformers
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Standard post-norm transformer block
|
||||
let block = transformer_block(attention, 0.1);
|
||||
|
||||
// Pre-norm transformer block (more stable)
|
||||
let block = prenorm_transformer_block(attention, 0.1);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Presets
|
||||
|
||||
### Model Presets
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// BERT (bidirectional, 12 heads, 0.1 dropout)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::Bert.builder(768)
|
||||
|
||||
// GPT (causal, 12 heads, 0.1 dropout)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::Gpt.builder(768)
|
||||
|
||||
// Longformer (512 window, local-global)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::Longformer.builder(512)
|
||||
|
||||
// Performer (linear attention, O(n))
|
||||
AttentionPreset::Performer.builder(512)
|
||||
|
||||
// Flash (memory-efficient, 128 block)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::FlashOptimized.builder(1024)
|
||||
|
||||
// Switch Transformer (8 experts, top-2)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::SwitchTransformer.builder(512)
|
||||
|
||||
// Hyperbolic (hierarchical data)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::HyperbolicTree.builder(512)
|
||||
|
||||
// T5 (encoder-decoder)
|
||||
AttentionPreset::T5.builder(768)
|
||||
|
||||
// Vision Transformer
|
||||
AttentionPreset::ViT.builder(768)
|
||||
|
||||
// Sparse Transformer
|
||||
AttentionPreset::SparseTransformer.builder(512)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Smart Selection
|
||||
|
||||
The SDK provides intelligent preset selection:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Automatic based on sequence length
|
||||
let attention = for_sequences(512, max_len).build()?;
|
||||
// ≤512: BERT
|
||||
// ≤4096: Longformer
|
||||
// >4096: Performer
|
||||
|
||||
// Graph attention
|
||||
let attention = for_graphs(256, hierarchical).build()?;
|
||||
// hierarchical=true: Hyperbolic
|
||||
// hierarchical=false: Multi-head
|
||||
|
||||
// Large-scale processing
|
||||
let attention = for_large_scale(1024).build()?;
|
||||
// Uses Flash attention
|
||||
|
||||
// Vision tasks
|
||||
let attention = for_vision(768, patch_size).build()?;
|
||||
// Uses ViT configuration
|
||||
|
||||
// Autoregressive generation
|
||||
let attention = for_generation(768, context_len).build()?;
|
||||
// ≤2048: GPT
|
||||
// >2048: Flash with causal
|
||||
|
||||
// MoE with custom routing
|
||||
let attention = for_moe(512, num_experts, top_k).build()?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### From Model Names
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// By model name (case-insensitive)
|
||||
let bert = from_model_name("bert", 768)?;
|
||||
let gpt = from_model_name("gpt2", 768)?;
|
||||
let longformer = from_model_name("longformer", 512)?;
|
||||
let t5 = from_model_name("t5", 768)?;
|
||||
let vit = from_model_name("vit", 768)?;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Transformer Layer
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
fn create_transformer_layer(dim: usize, num_heads: usize) -> AttentionResult<AttentionPipeline> {
|
||||
let attention = multi_head(dim, num_heads)
|
||||
.dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
Ok(AttentionPipeline::new()
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm) // Pre-norm
|
||||
.add_attention(attention)
|
||||
.add_dropout(0.1)
|
||||
.add_residual()
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm)) // Post-norm
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient Long-Sequence Processing
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
fn create_long_context_attention(dim: usize, max_len: usize) -> AttentionResult<Box<dyn Attention>> {
|
||||
if max_len <= 2048 {
|
||||
// Standard attention for short sequences
|
||||
multi_head(dim, 12).build()
|
||||
} else if max_len <= 16384 {
|
||||
// Local-global for medium sequences
|
||||
local_global(dim, 512).build()
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Linear attention for very long sequences
|
||||
linear(dim, dim / 4).build()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hierarchical Graph Attention
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
fn create_graph_attention(dim: usize, is_tree: bool) -> AttentionResult<Box<dyn Attention>> {
|
||||
if is_tree {
|
||||
// Use hyperbolic space for tree-like structures
|
||||
hyperbolic(dim, -1.0).build()
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Standard attention for general graphs
|
||||
multi_head(dim, 8).build()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sparse + Dense Hybrid
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
fn create_hybrid_pipeline(dim: usize) -> AttentionResult<AttentionPipeline> {
|
||||
// Local attention
|
||||
let local = flash(dim, 128).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Global attention (can be added in sequence)
|
||||
let global = multi_head(dim, 8).build()?;
|
||||
|
||||
Ok(AttentionPipeline::new()
|
||||
.add_attention(local)
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm)
|
||||
.add_residual())
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MoE for Specialized Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
use ruvector_attention::sdk::*;
|
||||
|
||||
fn create_moe_attention(dim: usize) -> AttentionResult<Box<dyn Attention>> {
|
||||
moe(dim, 16, 2) // 16 experts, route to top-2
|
||||
.expert_capacity(1.5) // Higher capacity for load balancing
|
||||
.jitter_noise(0.1) // Exploration during training
|
||||
.build()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Tips
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Choose the right attention type:**
|
||||
- Short sequences (<512): Standard multi-head
|
||||
- Medium sequences (512-4096): Local-global or Flash
|
||||
- Long sequences (>4096): Linear or Performer
|
||||
- Hierarchical data: Hyperbolic
|
||||
- Specialized patterns: MoE
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Use Flash attention for:**
|
||||
- Long sequences
|
||||
- Memory-constrained environments
|
||||
- Training with limited GPU memory
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Use Linear attention for:**
|
||||
- Very long sequences (>16k tokens)
|
||||
- Inference-only scenarios
|
||||
- Real-time applications
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Use MoE for:**
|
||||
- Multi-task learning
|
||||
- Specialized domain processing
|
||||
- Scaling model capacity
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Pipeline optimization:**
|
||||
- Pre-norm is more stable for deep models
|
||||
- RMSNorm is faster than LayerNorm
|
||||
- Dropout during training only
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[cfg(test)]
|
||||
mod tests {
|
||||
use super::*;
|
||||
|
||||
#[test]
|
||||
fn test_attention_pipeline() {
|
||||
let attention = multi_head(512, 8).build().unwrap();
|
||||
let pipeline = AttentionPipeline::new()
|
||||
.add_attention(attention)
|
||||
.add_norm(NormType::LayerNorm);
|
||||
|
||||
let query = vec![0.5; 512];
|
||||
let keys = vec![&query[..]; 10];
|
||||
let values = vec![&query[..]; 10];
|
||||
|
||||
let output = pipeline.run(&query, &keys, &values).unwrap();
|
||||
assert_eq!(output.len(), 512);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
