Tracing Computation Density in LLMs
Corentin Kervadec, Iuliia Lysova, Iuri Macocco +2
Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) are comprised of billions of parameters arranged in deep and wide computational graphs, but it is not clear that they exploit their f…
Sparse or Dense? A Mechanistic Estimation of Computation Density in Transformer-based LLMs
Corentin Kervadec, Iuliia Lysova, Marco Baroni +1
Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) are comprised of billions of parameters arranged in deep and wide computational graphs. Several studies on LLM efficiency optimizatio…
Evil twins are not that evil: Qualitative insights into machine-generated prompts
Nathanaël Carraz Rakotonirina, Corentin Kervadec, Francesca Franzon +1
It has been widely observed that language models (LMs) respond in predictable ways to algorithmically generated prompts that are seemingly unintelligible. This is both a sign that…
Emergence of a High-Dimensional Abstraction Phase in Language Transformers
Emily Cheng, Diego Doimo, Corentin Kervadec +4
A language model (LM) is a mapping from a linguistic context to an output token. However, much remains to be known about this mapping, including how its geometric properties relate…
