def scaled_dot_product_attention(Q: Tensor, K: Tensor, V: Tensor, mask: Optional[Tensor] = None) -> Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]:
"""
Compute scaled dot-product attention.
This is the fundamental attention operation that powers all transformer models.
We'll implement it with explicit loops first to show the O(n²) complexity.
TODO: Implement scaled dot-product attention step by step
APPROACH:
1. Extract dimensions and validate inputs
2. Compute attention scores with explicit nested loops (show O(n²) complexity)
3. Scale by 1/√d_k for numerical stability
4. Apply causal mask if provided (set masked positions to -inf)
5. Apply softmax to get attention weights
6. Apply values with attention weights (another O(n²) operation)
7. Return output and attention weights
Args:
Q: Query tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
K: Key tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
V: Value tensor of shape (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
mask: Optional causal mask, True=allow, False=mask (batch_size, seq_len, seq_len)
Returns:
output: Attended values (batch_size, seq_len, d_model)
attention_weights: Attention matrix (batch_size, seq_len, seq_len)
EXAMPLE:
>>> Q = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64)) # batch=2, seq=4, dim=64
>>> K = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64))
>>> V = Tensor(np.random.randn(2, 4, 64))
>>> output, weights = scaled_dot_product_attention(Q, K, V)
>>> print(output.shape) # (2, 4, 64)
>>> print(weights.shape) # (2, 4, 4)
>>> print(weights.data[0].sum(axis=1)) # Each row sums to ~1.0
HINTS:
- Use explicit nested loops to compute Q[i] @ K[j] for educational purposes
- Scale factor is 1/√d_k where d_k is the last dimension of Q
- Masked positions should be set to -1e9 before softmax
- Remember that softmax normalizes along the last dimension

# Step 3: Scale by 1/√d_k for numerical stability

scores = scores * scale_factor
# Step 4: Apply causal mask if provided
if mask is not None:
# Handle both 2D (seq, seq) and 3D (batch, seq, seq) masks
# Negative mask values indicate positions to mask out (set to -inf)

# 2D mask: same for all batches (typical for causal masks)
for b in range(batch_size):

for i in range(seq_len):
for j in range(seq_len):
if mask.data[b, i, j] < 0: # Negative values indicate masked positions
scores[b, i, j] = mask.data[b, i, j]
# Step 5: Apply softmax to get attention weights (probability distribution)
attention_weights = np.zeros_like(scores)
for b in range(batch_size):
for i in range(seq_len):
# Softmax over the j dimension (what this query attends to)
row = scores[b, i, :]
max_val = np.max(row) # Numerical stability
exp_row = np.exp(row - max_val)
sum_exp = np.sum(exp_row)
attention_weights[b, i, :] = exp_row / sum_exp
# Step 6: Apply attention weights to values (another O(n²) operation)
output = np.zeros((batch_size, seq_len, d_model))
# Again, show the quadratic complexity
for b in range(batch_size): # For each batch
for i in range(seq_len): # For each output position
for j in range(seq_len): # Weighted sum over all value positions
weight = attention_weights[b, i, j]
for d in range(d_model): # Accumulate across embedding dimension
output[b, i, d] += weight * V.data[b, j, d]
