Insert a linear Johnson–Lindenstrauss bottleneck around a set of jointly processed representations, choosing its width from the sharp finite-set dimension bound rather than from the model's nominal hidden size. The projection should preserve pairwise distances between tokens, patches, or retrieved items, allowing a downstream attention or MLP block to operate at lower width while retaining the geometry relevant to similarity computations.
Replace ordinary pairwise attention similarity by an affinity averaged over transformed keys or values. The resulting attention is invariant to the group action on either input and avoids requiring the network to learn identical attention patterns for every rotated or transformed copy.
Add a training-time regularizer that keeps the empirical joint covariance of hidden activations on multiple inputs close to the recursively predicted NNGP covariance. The regularizer targets the finite-width fluctuations quantified by the Wasserstein result, and is particularly appropriate for recurrent networks and attention blocks with shared weights, where hidden states at different positions or time steps are statistically coupled.
