Probability Distributions Computed by Autoregressive Transformers
Andy Yang, Anej Svete, Jiaoda Li +4
Most expressivity results for transformers treat them as language recognizers -- devices that accept or reject strings -- rather than as they are used in practice: as language mode…
Information Locality as an Inductive Bias for Neural Language Models
Taiga Someya, Anej Svete, Brian DuSell +3
Inductive biases are inherent in every machine learning system, shaping how models generalize from finite data. In the case of neural language models (LMs), debates persist as to w…
Characterizing the Expressivity of Fixed-Precision Transformer Language Models
Jiaoda Li, Ryan Cotterell
Transformer-based language models (LMs) have achieved widespread empirical success, but their theoretical expressive power remains only partially understood. In this work, we analy…
Unique Hard Attention: A Tale of Two Sides
Selim Jerad, Anej Svete, Jiaoda Li +1
Understanding the expressive power of transformers has recently attracted attention, as it offers insights into their abilities and limitations. Many studies analyze unique hard at…
