In-Place Tokenizer Expansion for Pre-trained LLMs
Jimmy T. H. Smith, Tarek Dakhran, Alberto Cabrera +7
A tokenizer fixed at the start of pre-training allocates vocabulary in proportion to the pre-training corpus, reflecting the deployment priorities at that time. When those prioriti…
LFM2 Technical Report
Alexander Amini, Anna Banaszak, Harold Benoit +30
We present LFM2, a family of Liquid Foundation Models designed for efficient on-device deployment and strong task capabilities. Using hardware-in-the-loop architecture search under…
Towards a theory of learning dynamics in deep state space models
Jakub Smékal, Jimmy T. H. Smith, Michael Kleinman +2
State space models (SSMs) have shown remarkable empirical performance on many long sequence modeling tasks, but a theoretical understanding of these models is still lacking. In thi…
Towards Scalable and Stable Parallelization of Nonlinear RNNs
Xavier Gonzalez, Andrew Warrington, Jimmy T. H. Smith +1
Transformers and linear state space models can be evaluated in parallel on modern hardware, but evaluating nonlinear RNNs appears to be an inherently sequential problem. Recently,…
State-Free Inference of State-Space Models: The Transfer Function Approach
Rom N. Parnichkun, Stefano Massaroli, Alessandro Moro +10
We approach designing a state-space model for deep learning applications through its dual representation, the transfer function, and uncover a highly efficient sequence parallel in…
