**TLDR:** A matrix structure that numerically represents how much each element in a sequence attends to the others.

<p>The attention score matrix is the core intermediate structure that shows how strongly each token attends to every other token. It is valuable not only computationally but also interpretively. Some heads may capture syntactic relations, some long-range semantic connections, and others task-specific signals. It is one of the most frequently examined objects in attention visualization studies.</p>
