Spectral Outliers Reveal Dominant Learned Structure in Transformer Attention

arXiv:2608. 07921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We apply Marchenko-Pastur (MP) random matrix theory to pre-trained attention weights in order to separate each projection matrix into a random-like bulk and a set of spectral outliers.

A Controlled Study of Attention-Only Transformers

arXiv:2607. 18363v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Feed-forward networks hold two thirds of a transformer's non-embedding parameters, yet the architecture has not received a necessity test that controls parameters, compute, and depth at once.
