Tiny Scale Is All I Can Spare To Play With Transformer
A student researcher has introduced "Silia," a novel Transformer architecture designed for parameter efficiency in models under 10 million parameters. The architecture aims to combine the dynamic mixing of attention mechanisms with the strong non-linearity of feed-forward networks into a single operation. Experiments, though limited by hardware constraints, suggest Silia achieves comparable performance to GPT-2 with significantly fewer parameters. AI
