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…
Log-Linear Attention
Han Guo, Songlin Yang, Tarushii Goel +3
The attention mechanism in Transformers is an important primitive for accurate and scalable sequence modeling. Its quadratic-compute and linear-memory complexity however remain sig…
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…
Parallelizing Linear Transformers with the Delta Rule over Sequence Length
Songlin Yang, Bailin Wang, Yu Zhang +2
Transformers with linear attention (i.e., linear transformers) and state-space models have recently been suggested as a viable linear-time alternative to transformers with softmax…
Gated Linear Attention Transformers with Hardware-Efficient Training
Songlin Yang, Bailin Wang, Yikang Shen +2
Transformers with linear attention allow for efficient parallel training but can simultaneously be formulated as an RNN with 2D (matrix-valued) hidden states, thus enjoying linear-…
Simple Hardware-Efficient PCFGs with Independent Left and Right Productions
Wei Liu, Songlin Yang, Yoon Kim +1
Scaling dense PCFGs to thousands of nonterminals via a low-rank parameterization of the rule probability tensor has been shown to be beneficial for unsupervised parsing. However, P…
