New theory explains optimal fact storage in LLM MLPs

Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework for understanding how Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) store factual knowledge within large language models (LLMs). This construction demonstrates that MLPs can store facts at an information-theoretically optimal rate, a phenomenon previously unexplained by existing models. The new method achieves this by analyzing the decoding margin of MLPs and requires significantly fewer parameters compared to prior constructions, while also being compatible with Transformer architectures for factual recall tasks.
