Input dependent convolutions

• How do vision transformers work? states that the key advantage of Self Attention over Convolutions is not the long range dependencies (global attention) but rather its data specificity (aka input dependency)
• This is related to Mamba - Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces's insight :
  • "We identify a key limitation of prior models: the ability to efficiently select data in an input-dependent manner (i.e. focus on or ignore particular inputs)."

There most likely is work on input-dependent convolutions:
- [ ] CKConv - Continuous Kernel Convolution For Sequential Data is probably related, but haven't read it in full. Check this.
- [ ] Review literature on input-dependent convolutions
