arXiv:2501. 18322v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers, which are state-of-the-art in most machine learning tasks, represent the data as sequences of vectors called tokens.
arXiv:2606. 07600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We formulate data propagation through the Transformer, the machine learning architecture powering large language models, as a nonlinear control system on the space of probability measures.

We derive finite-sample generalization bounds for Transformers trained with dynamic programming recursions. Building on the doubly lifted, measure-valued formulation of Transformer dynamics, we view data sets as probability laws on pairs of empirical input-output measures, allowing us to interpret the training problem as a finite-horizon Markovian control problem.
arXiv:2512. 21113v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers are increasingly adopted for modeling and forecasting time-series, yet their internal mechanisms remain poorly understood from a dynamical systems perspective.
arXiv:2608. 09558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How expressive is prompting a transformer?
arXiv:2604. 24196v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A drifting model is a one-step generator trained by moving each sample along a field of kernel-weighted attraction toward data samples and repulsion between model samples; training halts once this field vanishes.
arXiv:2512. 11784v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Softmax attention is a central component of transformer architectures, yet its nonlinear structure poses significant challenges for theoretical analysis.
arXiv:2608. 02487v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, rectified flow has emerged as a fundamental framework for large-scale image generation, powering state-of-the-art systems such as FLUX.
arXiv:2608. 12828v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Distribution steering seeks feedback laws that drive the state law of a dynamical system between prescribed initial and terminal distributions.
arXiv:2608. 04531v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Functional flow matching is posed on distributions of functions but implemented from finitely many coefficients or point values.
arXiv:2607. 18584v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the inference-time behavior of deep linear encoder-only transformers through the lens of interacting particle systems.
arXiv:2607. 01746v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recurrent representations are trajectories, but representation geometry is often measured from static snapshots.
