Communicability-Inspired Positional Encoding (CIPE)
Positional encodings (PEs) are essential for Transformers. Yet designing effective PEs for non-Euclidean graphs remains challenging.
arXiv:2606. 17830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural network parameter spaces are inherently non-injective, as distinct parameter configurations can realize identical functions through functional equivalence.

arXiv:2602. 18948v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformer models contain substantial internal redundancy arising from coordinate-dependent representations and continuous symmetries, in model space and in head space, respectively.
arXiv:2509. 22259v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study the extent to which rotary position encodings (RoPE), a recent transformer position encoding algorithm broadly adopted in large language models (LLMs) and vision transformers (ViTs), can be applied to graph-structured data.
arXiv:2510. 24342v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Prior brain-AI alignment studies are typically constrained by specific inputs and tasks, limiting their ability to capture organizational properties across models with different modalities.
arXiv:2606. 13276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Weight-space geometry plays a central role in neural network optimization, yet manifold constraints are often applied uniformly across all weight matrices.
arXiv:2606. 06160v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RoPE-trained transformers distinguish absolute position in their attention patterns, even though RoPE encodes only relative offsets in the inner product.
Weight-space geometry plays a central role in neural network optimization, yet manifold constraints are often applied uniformly across all weight matrices. In this work, we ask whether different transformer modules prefer different manifold geometries.
arXiv:2510. 18315v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We investigate how embedding dimension affects the emergence of an internal "world model" in a transformer trained with reinforcement learning to perform bubble-sort-style adjacent swaps.
arXiv:2605. 27458v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Transformer has significantly propelled the development of artificial intelligence, and certainly the development of agents as well.
arXiv:2607. 10677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-attention is a ubiquitous primitive in modern sequence models, yet its operator-level geometry is only partially understood.
arXiv:2606. 27449v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-head attention conventionally partitions the hidden dimension equally across all heads at every layer, enforcing an identical representational subspace dimension (dh = dmodel/h) throughout the models depth.
