Researchers have introduced a new benchmark to study how the location of adaptation within transformer models influences what they learn, how well it generalizes, and how selectively it is applied. The study found that different objectives, such as lexical binding or factual association, exhibit distinct "adaptation geometries" based on whether adaptation occurs in early, middle, or late layers of the model. These findings suggest that the site of adaptation is a critical factor in controlling a transformer's learning and generalization capabilities. AI
IMPACT Understanding how adaptation site influences learning could lead to more efficient and targeted fine-tuning of large language models.
