Researchers have investigated the theoretical underpinnings of linear transformers for in-context learning, addressing the computational limitations of traditional softmax transformers. The study proposes that linear transformers learn a mapping from context distributions to response functions, analyzing their approximation and generalization capabilities through a domain generalization lens. Based on this theoretical framework, the paper introduces novel approaches for activation and loss design to linearize pre-trained softmax large language models. AI
