Contextually Guided Transformers via Low-Rank Adaptation
Andrey Zhmoginov, Jihwan Lee, Max Vladymyrov +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) based on Transformers excel at text processing, but their reliance on prompts for specialized behavior introduces computational overhead. We propose a…
Long Context In-Context Compression by Getting to the Gist of Gisting
Aleksandar Petrov, Mark Sandler, Andrey Zhmoginov +2
Long context processing is critical for the adoption of LLMs, but existing methods often introduce architectural complexity that hinders their practical adoption. Gisting, an in-co…
Narrowing the Focus: Learned Optimizers for Pretrained Models
Gus Kristiansen, Mark Sandler, Andrey Zhmoginov +4
In modern deep learning, the models are learned by applying gradient updates using an optimizer, which transforms the updates based on various statistics. Optimizers are often hand…
Linear Transformers are Versatile In-Context Learners
Max Vladymyrov, Johannes von Oswald, Mark Sandler +1
Recent research has demonstrated that transformers, particularly linear attention models, implicitly execute gradient-descent-like algorithms on data provided in-context during the…
Uncovering mesa-optimization algorithms in Transformers
Johannes von Oswald, Maximilian Schlegel, Alexander Meulemans +10
Some autoregressive models exhibit in-context learning capabilities: being able to learn as an input sequence is processed, without undergoing any parameter changes, and without be…
Training trajectories, mini-batch losses and the curious role of the learning rate
Mark Sandler, Andrey Zhmoginov, Max Vladymyrov +1
Stochastic gradient descent plays a fundamental role in nearly all applications of deep learning. However its ability to converge to a global minimum remains shrouded in mystery. I…
