How Transformers Reject Wrong Answers: Rotational Dynamics of Factual Constraint Processing

arXiv:2603. 13259v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When a decoder-only transformer is forced to process matched correct and incorrect single-token continuations of a factual query, the two pathways through hidden-state space diverge in a specific way: displacement vectors from the query-only representation maintain approximately equal magnitude but rotate apart in direction.

Indexing: the Beginning and the End

arXiv:2607. 22361v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study information bottlenecks in modern deep-learning architectures -- RNNs, softmax transformers, linear-attention transformers and state-space models -- through the lens of the indexing primitive.
