SpanNorm: Reconciling Training Stability and Performance in Deep Transformers
arXiv:2601. 22580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The success of Large Language Models (LLMs) hinges on the stable training of deep Transformer architectures.
arXiv:2511. 17864v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: 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.
arXiv:2601. 22580v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The success of Large Language Models (LLMs) hinges on the stable training of deep Transformer architectures.
arXiv:2604. 21254v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM architecture research generally aims to maximize model quality subject to fixed compute/latency budgets.
arXiv:2605. 09165v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Looped language models repeat a set of transformer layers through depth, reducing memory costs and providing natural early-exit points at loop boundaries.
arXiv:2511. 12081v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite massive investments in scale, deep models for click-through rate (CTR) prediction often exhibit rapidly diminishing returns -- a stark contrast to the {predictable scaling laws} seen in large language models (LLMs).
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.
arXiv:2607. 22577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scaling large language models (LLMs) has driven their success, yet dense Transformers couple capacity and computation: every parameter is activated for every token, making training and inference costs grow linearly with model size-a critical bottleneck as models approach trillion-parameter regimes.
arXiv:2507. 16003v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the most striking features of Large Language Models (LLMs) is their ability to learn in-context.
arXiv:2607. 22757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce Graded Large Language Models (GLLMs), an algebraic framework that equips the representation space of a transformer with a grading and propagates the induced weighted scalar action through embeddings, self-attention, and the training objective.
arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.
arXiv:2606. 17522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are widely believed to derive their expressive power from their ability to form \textbf{hierarchical representations}, capturing progressively more abstract and compositional features across layers.
arXiv:2607. 00479v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based large models have demonstrated remarkable generalization abilities across different tasks by leveraging a context-aware attention module for in-context learning.
arXiv:2608. 15360v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has substantially reduced the hardware cost of adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) by decreasing the number of trainable parameters, recent studies have sought to further improve PEFT through parameter sharing.
