The weights are typically obtained as the softmax of dot products between keys and queries. Recent work has explored alternatives to softmax attention…
This paper was accepted at the AI4TCI (Workshop on AI for Secure and Trustworthy Critical Infrastructure Systems) Workshop at the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) 2026. Autonomous negotiation agents are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as insurance and procurement. While cryptographic techniques protect explicitly disclosed constraint…
