Transformer optimization is currently focused on enhancing model efficiency and performance through innovative techniques such as adaptive looping, structured attention projections, and data-aware kernels. These advancements aim to reduce parameter counts and memory usage while maintaining or improving task performance. For instance, methods like QUOKA and FBS introduce novel attention mechanisms that accelerate inference and improve the quality-efficiency trade-off without increasing model complexity. Additionally, addressing challenges in quantization and activation outliers is crucial for deploying transformers effectively in real-world applications. By refining these models, researchers are paving the way for more efficient and capable AI systems, which is essential for builders looking to leverage advanced language models in various applications.
Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting enables reasoning in language models but requires explicit verbalization of intermediate steps. Looped transformers offer an alternative by iteratively refining repres...
The dense output projection in multi-head attention scales quadratically with model dimension, contributing significantly to parameter count, memory footprint, and inference cost. We propose replacing...
We present a theoretical analysis of the Jacobian of an attention block within a transformer, showing that it is governed by the query, key, and value projections that define the attention mechanism. ...
Large language models (LLMs) excel across many tasks, yet inference is still dominated by strictly token-by-token autoregression. Existing acceleration methods largely patch this pipeline and miss cor...
Post-training quantization (PTQ) of transformers is known to suffer from severe accuracy degradation due to structured activation outliers, as originally analyzed by Bondarenko et al. (EMNLP 2021) in ...
We present QUOKA: Query-oriented KV selection for efficient attention, a training-free and hardware agnostic sparse attention algorithm for accelerating transformer inference under chunked prefill. Wh...
Transformers excel across domains, yet their quadratic attention complexity poses a barrier to scaling. Random-feature attention, as in Performers, can reduce this cost to linear in the sequence lengt...
