Scaling Laws for Precision
Tanishq Kumar, Zachary Ankner, Benjamin F. Spector +6
Low precision training and inference affect both the quality and cost of language models, but current scaling laws do not account for this. In this work, we devise "precision-aware…
Do Mice Grok? Glimpses of Hidden Progress During Overtraining in Sensory Cortex
Tanishq Kumar, Blake Bordelon, Cengiz Pehlevan +2
Does learning of task-relevant representations stop when behavior stops changing? Motivated by recent theoretical advances in machine learning and the intuitive observation that hu…
How Feature Learning Can Improve Neural Scaling Laws
Blake Bordelon, Alexander Atanasov, Cengiz Pehlevan
We develop a solvable model of neural scaling laws beyond the kernel limit. Theoretical analysis of this model shows how performance scales with model size, training time, and the…
Infinite Limits of Multi-head Transformer Dynamics
Blake Bordelon, Hamza Tahir Chaudhry, Cengiz Pehlevan
In this work, we analyze various scaling limits of the training dynamics of transformer models in the feature learning regime. We identify the set of parameterizations that admit w…
A Dynamical Model of Neural Scaling Laws
Blake Bordelon, Alexander Atanasov, Cengiz Pehlevan
On a variety of tasks, the performance of neural networks predictably improves with training time, dataset size and model size across many orders of magnitude. This phenomenon is k…
