Algebraic Decomposition Theory for Transformer Length Generalization

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 13433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based language models are known to sometimes generalize to sequences longer than seen during training, but we lack a precise characterization of which tasks admit length generalization.

Length Generalization Bounds for Transformers

arXiv:2603. 02238v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Length generalization is a key property of a learning algorithm that enables it to make correct predictions on inputs of any length, given finite training data.

On the Ability of Transformers to Verify Plans

arXiv:2603. 19954v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers have shown inconsistent success in AI planning tasks, and theoretical understanding of when generalization should be expected has been limited.

Language Identification with Succinct Machine-Independent Traces

arXiv:2607. 12443v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motivated by the power of large language models, there has been renewed interest in the Gold-Angluin model of language identification in the limit, with an eye toward variants of the model that might overcome the negative results for its original formulation.
