ST-MoE: Designing Stable and Transferable Sparse Expert Models

Barret Zoph, Irwan Bello, Sameer Kumar +5

Scale has opened new frontiers in natural language processing -- but at a high cost. In response, Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) and Switch Transformers have been proposed as an energy e…

LambdaNetworks: Modeling Long-Range Interactions Without Attention

Irwan Bello

We present lambda layers -- an alternative framework to self-attention -- for capturing long-range interactions between an input and structured contextual information (e.g. a pixel…
