A new research paper explores how Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE) in transformers utilize frequencies non-uniformly, proposing a data-centered explanation. The study suggests that RoPE frequencies are selected to align with the relative-distance structure of the training data, with optimal frequencies scaling inversely with the width of data-induced dependency profiles. This principle helps explain emergent frequency usage in language models and connects to length generalization, where scaling frequencies down can improve performance when dependencies approximate dilations of training-time structures.
