Distilling to Hybrid Attention Models via KL-Guided Layer Selection
Yanhong Li, Songlin Yang, Shawn Tan +4
Distilling pretrained softmax attention Transformers into more efficient hybrid architectures that interleave softmax and linear attention layers is a promising approach for improv…
PaTH Attention: Position Encoding via Accumulating Householder Transformations
Songlin Yang, Yikang Shen, Kaiyue Wen +5
The attention mechanism is a core primitive in modern large language models (LLMs) and AI more broadly. Since attention by itself is permutation-invariant, position encoding is ess…
Gated Delta Networks: Improving Mamba2 with Delta Rule
Songlin Yang, Jan Kautz, Ali Hatamizadeh
Linear Transformers have gained attention as efficient alternatives to standard Transformers, but their performance in retrieval and long-context tasks has been limited. To address…
A Controlled Study on Long Context Extension and Generalization in LLMs
Yi Lu, Jing Nathan Yan, Songlin Yang +6
Broad textual understanding and in-context learning require language models that utilize full document contexts. Due to the implementation challenges associated with directly train…
