First paper I can find where keys, queries, and values are distinct matrices is https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.03906, described at the end of section 2. The authors of the Transformer paper are very clear in how they describe their contribution to the attention formulation, writing &amp;quot;Dot-product attention is identical to our algorithm, except for the scaling factor&amp;quot;. I think it&amp;#x27;s fair to state that multi-head is the paper&amp;#x27;s only substantial contribution to the design of attention mechanisms. I think you&amp;#x27;re overestimating the degree…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1703.03906/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
