New theory explains how Transformer training affects token clustering

A new theoretical formulation of Transformer dynamics reveals how the training process can influence token clustering during inference. Researchers found that even a single gradient-descent update can cause token distributions to escape clustering in later layers. This work establishes a training-aware mean-field theory, treating training and inference dynamics together to better understand Transformer behavior. AI

IMPACT Provides a theoretical framework for understanding how training influences Transformer inference dynamics.
