Dataset diversity key to Transformer compositional generalization, study finds

Researchers have proposed that the difficulty Transformers face with structural generalization in compositional tasks is not inherent but stems from dataset limitations. By increasing the diversity of structural types within datasets, similar to the existing diversity in lexical types, Transformers show improved compositional generalization. This finding challenges previous assertions that compound divergence is the primary explanation for these difficulties and suggests that dataset properties significantly influence model performance.
