Rectified Looped Transformer improves stability and efficiency

Researchers have introduced the Rectified Looped Transformer (RLT), a novel architecture designed to improve the efficiency and stability of looped Transformers. Unlike standard looped Transformers that can suffer from state scale growth and perturbation amplification, RLT employs an interpolation schedule inspired by flow-based modeling. This method linearly interpolates between a loop's current state and its prediction, distributing state changes and promoting a smoother trajectory. Theoretical analysis suggests RLT bounds state magnitudes and reduces perturbation amplification, while empirical evaluations show it achieves lower perplexity and greater robustness without additional parameters or computational cost.

    Rectified Looped Transformer

    arXiv:2611.16265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Looped Transformers increase effective depth by repeatedly applying a shared block, offering a parameter-efficient approach to language modeling. However, most existing works directly reuse each loop's output as the next's input, …
