Transformer models' knowledge capacity grows exponentially with dimension, study finds

A new arXiv paper investigates the information storage capacity of transformer models. Researchers found that the ability of transformers to memorize factual knowledge grows exponentially with their dimension, meaning the minimum dimension required to memorize a set of facts increases logarithmically with the number of facts. The study also observed that while depth has a sublinear impact on memorization capacity, transformers can exploit structured data, such as symmetric relations, to improve their knowledge storage efficiency.
