A new research paper explores the impact of normalization placement in Transformer models, specifically comparing 'pre-norm' and 'post-norm' techniques. While pre-norm is standard for joint training of full-depth models, the study found that post-norm performs better when depth is introduced through a curriculum, particularly in distillation tasks. This suggests that normalization placement and training curriculum are coupled design choices that should be considered together. AI
IMPACT Suggests new training methodologies for LLMs that could improve performance and efficiency.
