Researchers have developed a method for learning decision-stump thresholds within a two-parameter softmax attention model. This approach uses gradient-based pretraining on labeled contexts and their true thresholds to infer a new threshold from context alone. The study details how gradient descent on multiple tasks with fixed examples leads to a frozen estimator with a specific error rate, separating finite-pretraining accuracy from fresh-context localization. The mechanism involves coordinated parameter divergence, where training calibrates scores and increases attention scale, with error decreasing over time. AI
