Transformer architecture research papers. Locates seminal and current papers detailing transformer variants, theory, and benchmarks. Supports academic work.

Transformer Architecture Research Papers

Curated academic reading list of 19 sources covering foundational architectures, efficient and long-context variants, theoretical analyses, and empirical benchmarks. Duplicate URLs and lower-relevance application papers were excluded.

Seminal architectures

Foundational Transformer papers and surveys that organize the major architectural families, including the original Transformer and vision Transformers.

Architectural variants and efficiency

Papers on sparse, efficient, long-context, and alternative sequence architectures, including canonical sparse-attention work and newer surveys or preprints.

Theory and mechanisms

Theoretical and mechanistic studies of Transformer expressivity, induction heads, linear attention, and length generalization.

Benchmarks and evaluation

Benchmark papers assessing attention efficiency, long-context modeling, and comparisons among Transformer and alternative sequence architectures.
