New calculus analyzes Sinkhorn layers for improved gradient propagation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new calculus for analyzing sparse Sinkhorn layers, which use fixed support graphs to limit transport between tokens. This calculus details how the support graph influences gradient propagation through scaling iterations. The findings provide mathematical criteria for designing supports in differentiable transport layers, ensuring one-step contraction uniformly over finite scores under specific conditions related to the transportation polytope.

    Support Topology and Gradient Mixing in Sinkhorn Layers

    arXiv:2609.07954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse Sinkhorn layers use a fixed support graph to restrict transport between tokens. How does this graph control gradient propagation through the scaling iterations. We develop a fixed-support calculus showing that each row-column…
