Researchers have developed a new algebraic decomposition theory to precisely characterize which regular languages Transformer-based language models can generalize to longer sequences than they were trained on. This theory addresses limitations in classical Krohn-Rhodes decomposition theory, which is insufficient for understanding Transformer length generalization due to differences in basic building blocks. The new approach generalizes decomposition theory to infinite groups, enabling a polynomial-time decision algorithm for regular language membership. Experiments confirm the theory's accuracy in predicting Transformer behavior. AI
