Grow, Don't Overwrite: Fine-tuning Without Forgetting

Dyah Adila, Hanna Mazzawi, Benoit Dherin +1

Adapting pre-trained models to specialized tasks often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where new knowledge overwrites foundational capabilities. Existing methods either compromis…

Equivalence of Context and Parameter Updates in Modern Transformer Blocks

Adrian Goldwaser, Michael Munn, Javier Gonzalvo +1

Recent research has established that the impact of context in a vanilla transformer can be represented implicitly by forming a token-dependent, rank-1 patch to its MLP weights. Thi…

On residual network depth

Benoit Dherin, Michael Munn

Deep residual architectures, such as ResNet and the Transformer, have enabled models of unprecedented depth, yet a formal understanding of why depth is so effective remains an open…

Transmuting prompts into weights

Hanna Mazzawi, Benoit Dherin, Michael Munn +3

A growing body of research has demonstrated that the behavior of large language models can be effectively controlled at inference time by directly modifying their internal states,…

How iteration order influences convergence and stability in deep learning

Benoit Dherin, Benny Avelin, Anders Karlsson +3

Despite exceptional achievements, training neural networks remains computationally expensive and is often plagued by instabilities that can degrade convergence. While learning rate…
