New paper details how cross-entropy training shapes transformer attention

Researchers have analyzed how cross-entropy training shapes attention scores and value vectors within transformer attention heads. Their work introduces an advantage-based routing law for attention scores and a responsibility-weighted update for values. This mechanism creates a feedback loop where queries and values specialize together, enabling transformers to perform precise probabilistic reasoning. AI

IMPACT Explains the internal geometry that enables transformers to perform probabilistic reasoning, offering insights into model interpretability.
