On the Residual Scaling of Looped Transformers: Stability and Transferability

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 18524v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Looped (weight-tied) Transformers apply a shared residual block $N$ times ($h \leftarrow h + \varepsilon\,f(h)$, same $f$ at each step), increasing effective depth without adding parameters.

LayerNorm as Implicit Gain Control in Looped Transformers

arXiv:2607. 10681v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In pre-LayerNorm looped transformers, LayerNorm inside the recurrent block acts as an implicit gain controller: by coupling the block's local Lipschitz constant inversely to the activation scale, it renders the recurrence Jacobian non-normal -- asymptotically contractive at every verified fixed point even where its operator norm exceeds 1 -- so the true stability budget is the spectral margin, not an operator-norm bound.
