Transformer models can exactly interpolate finite sequence datasets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have demonstrated that transformers can precisely interpolate datasets of finite input sequences. Their construction uses a number of blocks proportional to the sum of output sequence lengths and parameters independent of input sequence length. This method, which alternates feed-forward and self-attention layers, utilizes low-rank parameter matrices and has been proven effective in both hardmax and softmax settings, offering convergence guarantees for learning problems.

    Exact Sequence Interpolation with Transformers

    arXiv:2502.02270v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We prove that transformers can exactly interpolate datasets of finite input sequences in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$, with corresponding output sequences of smaller or equal length. Specifically, given $N$ sequences of arbit…
