It's Not RoPE that Creates Sinks: The Role of Self-Concentration and Value-Non-Mixing in Attention

Raito Kiya, Satoki Ohashi, Kosuke Sato +6

Large Language Models (LLMs) often exhibit "Attention Sink" (AS) and the accompanying "Massive Activations" (MAs) at the initial position of a sequence. These phenomena frequently…

PLaMo 2 Technical Report

Preferred Networks, :, Kaizaburo Chubachi +24

In this report, we introduce PLaMo 2, a series of Japanese-focused large language models featuring a hybrid Samba-based architecture that transitions to full attention via continua…

Can Input Attributions Explain Inductive Reasoning in In-Context Learning?

Mengyu Ye, Tatsuki Kuribayashi, Goro Kobayashi +1

Interpreting the internal process of neural models has long been a challenge. This challenge remains relevant in the era of large language models (LLMs) and in-context learning (IC…

Contrastive Learning-based Sentence Encoders Implicitly Weight Informative Words

Hiroto Kurita, Goro Kobayashi, Sho Yokoi +1

The performance of sentence encoders can be significantly improved through the simple practice of fine-tuning using contrastive loss. A natural question arises: what characteristic…

Assessing Step-by-Step Reasoning against Lexical Negation: A Case Study on Syllogism

Mengyu Ye, Tatsuki Kuribayashi, Jun Suzuki +2

Large language models (LLMs) take advantage of step-by-step reasoning instructions, e.g., chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting. Building on this, their ability to perform CoT-style rea…

Transformer Language Models Handle Word Frequency in Prediction Head

Goro Kobayashi, Tatsuki Kuribayashi, Sho Yokoi +1

Prediction head is a crucial component of Transformer language models. Despite its direct impact on prediction, this component has often been overlooked in analyzing Transformers.…

Analyzing Feed-Forward Blocks in Transformers through the Lens of Attention Maps

Goro Kobayashi, Tatsuki Kuribayashi, Sho Yokoi +1

Transformers are ubiquitous in wide tasks. Interpreting their internals is a pivotal goal. Nevertheless, their particular components, feed-forward (FF) blocks, have typically been…

Incorporating Residual and Normalization Layers into Analysis of Masked Language Models

Goro Kobayashi, Tatsuki Kuribayashi, Sho Yokoi +1

Transformer architecture has become ubiquitous in the natural language processing field. To interpret the Transformer-based models, their attention patterns have been extensively a…
