The Transformer achieves state-of-the-art results in machine translation while being more parallelizable and requiring significantly less time to train. Key contributions: > > Proposes multi-head self-attention as a replacement for recurrence and convolutions in encoder-decoder architectures. Self-attention connects all positions with a constant number of sequentially executed operations, whereas recurrent layers require O(n) sequential operations. > > Introduces scaled dot-product attention, which performs better than additive attention for large values of attention dimension. Applies attention scaling to improve training. > > Employs positional encodings instead of recurrence to enable the model to make use of sequence order. Shows that learned positional embeddings can replace sinusoids with negligible loss in quality. > > Achieves state-of-the-art BLEU scores on WMT 2014 English-to-German and English-to-French translation at a fraction of the training cost of previous models. Outperforms all previously published models on English constituency parsing with limited training data. > > The Transformer's reliance on attention and positional encodings rather than recurrence make it very promising for parallelization and scaling to longer sequences. The results demonstrate the potential of attention-based models to supplant RNNs and CNNs in sequence transduction tasks. > > Evaluation: > The Transformer architecture presents several advantages for using large language models and generative adversarial networks: > > The Transformer is highly parallelizable since it does away with sequence-aligned RNNs. This makes it very suitable for scaling up with more parameters and data. > > The multi-head self-attention provides a way to jointly attend to information from different representation subspaces at different positions, allowing modeling of dependencies regardless of distance. This is useful for long-range dependencies in large contexts. > > Positional encodings allow the model to make use of sequence order without recurrence. This can enable generating coherent, ordered outputs in GANs and large LMs. > > The Transformer achieves excellent results with limited training data, suggesting its representations transfer well. This is promising for few-shot learning and fine-tuning large LMs. > > The paper provides useful analysis into the roles different attention heads learn, which can inform work on interpretable attention-based representations. > > Overall, the Transformer architecture seems very promising as a foundation for large scale language modeling and GAN training. The representations it learns appear powerful yet transparent. The results on parsing suggest it can capture linguistic phenomena well. The parallelizability enables scaling. Much follow-on work has already adapted and refined the Transformer, making it very relevant today.

> - Github > - Paper > > Large Language Models as Tool Makers > Authors: Tianle Cai, Xuezhi Wang, Tengyu Ma, Xinyun Chen, Denny Zhou > > Word count: 4579 words > > Estimated read time: 12 minutes > > Source code: https://github.com/ctlllll/LLM-ToolMaker ↗ > > Summary: > > This paper proposes a framework called LLMs As Tool Makers (LATM) that enables large language models (LLMs) to create and utilize their own tools for solving complex reasoning tasks. The key idea is to separate the process into two stages - tool making and tool using. In the tool making stage, a powerful yet expensive LLM acts as the "tool maker" to generate reusable Python functions for solving demonstrations of a task. In the tool using stage, a lightweight and cost-effective LLM acts as the "tool user" to call these tools to solve new instances of the task. > > Experiments on tasks like logical deduction, tracking shuffled objects, Dyck language parsing, etc show that with tools made by GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo as the tool user can match or exceed the performance of GPT-4 at lower cost. The authors also introduce a "dispatcher" LLM to handle streaming tasks by identifying when to reuse existing tools or request new ones. > > Overall, this work demonstrates a promising approach to enabling LLMs to create their own tools, reducing reliance on human-crafted tools. The division of labor also allows using smaller models for most of the inferences, improving cost-efficiency. This technique could significantly expand the capabilities of LLMs in a scalable manner. > > > The proposed LATM framework demonstrates an interesting and promising approach to improving the reasoning and problem-solving capabilities of large language models in a cost-effective manner. Here are some thoughts on its applicability: > > The ability for LLMs to create their own tools could be very useful for building practical applications. For any recurring task, the model could generate a reusable tool instead of solving from scratch each time. This could make applications more efficient and scalable. > > The staged approach allows combining different sized models optimally - a powerful model makes tools, while lightweight models use the tools. This cost-effectiveness is attractive for real-world applications with budget constraints. > > The tools being in Python allows them to integrate into application codebases easily. The dispatcher model also provides flexibility to handle new tasks. > > The method's applicability does seem more geared towards logical reasoning, procedural and algorithmic tasks right now. Further research may be needed to extend it to other domains. > > There are still open challenges around rigorously testing and validating the quality and safety of automatically generated tools. Methods to provide human oversight would be important. > > Overall, the LATM paradigm does appear promising for augmenting LLMs and enabling them to participate more actively in their own learning and tooling. With further research to broaden its scope, it could become a general framework for efficiently enhancing LLM capabilities. > > So in summary, LATM seems quite promising as a technique for unlocking more of the potential of LLMs for practical applications requiring complex reasoning in a scalable and cost-efficient manner. More research is still needed, but the principles demonstrated align well with enabling wider usage of LLMs and GANs in applications. >

Basically if you apply Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) theory to this problem, it becomes clear that simply interpolating the RoPE's fourier space "linearly" is very sub-optimal, as it prevents the network to distinguish the order and positions of tokens that are very close by. Borrowing from NTK literature, scaling down the fourier features too much will eventually even prevent succesful finetunes (this is corroborated by the recent paper by Meta that suggests an upper bound of ~600x) > > Instead of the simple linear interpolation scheme, I've tried to design a nonlinear interpolation scheme using tools from NTK literature. Basically this interpolation scheme changes the base of the RoPE instead of the scale, which intuitively changes the "spinning" speed which each of the RoPE's dimension vectors compared to the next. Because it does not scale the fourier features directly, all the positions are perfectly distinguishable from eachother, even when taken to the extreme (eg. streched 1million times, which is effectively a context size of 2 Billion) > > To my surprise, this method works extremely well, so much so that you don't even need to fine tune the LLaMA 7B model for 4096 context size!

Previous methods like ALiBi and LeX were unable to efficiently extend the context window size of LLMs, leading to poor performance. The authors propose Position Interpolation, which involves downscaling the positional encoding of the LLM's attention mechanism to match the desired longer context window size. They prove mathematically that interpolated attention scores are more stable than extrapolated ones, allowing the model to adapt to longer contexts with just a few hundred fine-tuning steps. Experiments showed that Position Interpolation enables LLMs to perform well on longer contexts, reducing perplexity by up to 0.8 points on average, and generating strong summarizations. Extending the context window size to 32768 led to slight degradation on the original benchmarks, but the models adapted to longer texts. The authors conclude that interpolating positional encodings allows the model to attend to relevant evidence in the longer contexts, and the stability of the interpolated attention score helps the model avoid catastrophic behaviors. > > > > QUESTION > > How many steps was the model fine tuned for the final results?
