Researchers have developed a new method to understand the internal workings of Transformer neural networks, focusing on the feedforward network (FFN) layers. Their training-free attribution technique reveals that despite dense parameterization, FFN neurons exhibit sparse inter-layer dependencies. This sparsity allows for high-fidelity preservation of neuron activations even when masking most upstream inputs, suggesting potential pathways for more efficient inference. AI
