Continuous Latent Contexts Enable Efficient Online Learning in Transformers

Dimensions overall score 5.0

• Continuous latent contexts enable transformers to efficiently implement online learning algorithms like weighted majority and Q-learning, outperforming larger models on long synthetic prediction sequences. However, many interactive settings go beyond static prediction to online decision-making, in which effective behavior demands adaptation over long multi-turn horizons in response to feedback, and efficient algorithms in these domains must use compact representations of what they have learned.problem 35%
