Single-Head Attention in High Dimensions: A Theory of Generalization, Weights Spectra, and Scaling Laws
Fabrizio Boncoraglio, Vittorio Erba, Emanuele Troiani +3
Trained attention layers exhibit striking and reproducible spectral structure of the weights, including low-rank collapse, bulk deformation, and isolated spectral outliers, yet the…
Scaling Laws and Spectra of Shallow Neural Networks in the Feature Learning Regime
Leonardo Defilippis, Yizhou Xu, Julius Girardin +5
Neural scaling laws underlie many of the recent advances in deep learning, yet their theoretical understanding remains largely confined to linear models. In this work, we present a…
Bayes optimal learning of attention-indexed models
Fabrizio Boncoraglio, Emanuele Troiani, Vittorio Erba +1
We introduce the attention-indexed model (AIM), a theoretical framework for analyzing learning in deep attention layers. Inspired by multi-index models, AIM captures how token-leve…
The Nuclear Route: Sharp Asymptotics of ERM in Overparameterized Quadratic Networks
Vittorio Erba, Emanuele Troiani, Lenka Zdeborová +1
We study the high-dimensional asymptotics of empirical risk minimization (ERM) in over-parametrized two-layer neural networks with quadratic activations trained on synthetic data.…
Fundamental limits of learning in sequence multi-index models and deep attention networks: High-dimensional asymptotics and sharp thresholds
Emanuele Troiani, Hugo Cui, Yatin Dandi +2
In this manuscript, we study the learning of deep attention neural networks, defined as the composition of multiple self-attention layers, with tied and low-rank weights. We first…
