On Subquadratic Architectures: From Applications to Principles
arXiv:2606. 12364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers dominate modern sequence modeling, but their quadratic attention incurs substantial computational cost.
arXiv:2602. 06774v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: State Space Models (SSMs) have emerged as an efficient alternative to the Transformer architecture.
arXiv:2606. 12364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers dominate modern sequence modeling, but their quadratic attention incurs substantial computational cost.
Context lengths of language models (LMs) have dramatically increased, driven by the demands for in-context learning, self-improvement, and long-horizon agentic workflows. Existing long-context corpora, however, are dominated by books, academic articles, and code repositories, which are finite resources and often scarce in long-distance dependencies.
arXiv:2606. 16093v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modeling long-range dependencies remains a central challenge in natural language processing.
arXiv:2505. 13353v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for understanding large codebases, but whether they understand operational semantics of long code context or rely on pattern matching shortcuts remains unclear.
arXiv:2606. 05680v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have enabled the automatic synthesis (generation) of register-transfer level (RTL) code from natural language instructions, offering a promising pathway to accelerate chip design.
arXiv:2606. 23690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) language models have driven significant progress in automated software engineering, enabling powerful code generation and assistance systems.
arXiv:2608. 05141v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Context lengths of language models (LMs) have dramatically increased, driven by the demands for in-context learning, self-improvement, and long-horizon agentic workflows.
arXiv:2607. 01218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformers use the same forward computation stream to both predict the next token and store useful state for future token predictions.
arXiv:2606. 22248v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Standard autoregressive Transformer decoders can often exhibit substantial forgetting under sequential fine-tuning on shifting curriculum distributions.
arXiv:2608. 08888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive transformers compute along two axes: horizontally across generated tokens, and vertically through model depth.
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. 11614v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Extending the context length of large language models (LLMs) is critical for many real-world applications, yet standard transformers remain constrained by quadratic compute and linear memory scaling.
