Transformers' generalization analyzed via Fourier Spectra and PAC-Bayes

Researchers have explored the generalization capabilities of transformers using Fourier Spectra analysis on boolean domains. Their work, contrasting with previous Rademacher complexity approaches, utilizes PAC-Bayes theory to derive generalization bounds. The study suggests that sparse spectra focused on low-degree components facilitate constructions with good generalization properties, supported by empirical predictions and interpretability studies.

    A Sharper Picture of Generalization in Transformers

    We study transformers' generalization behavior on boolean domains from the perspective of the Fourier Spectra of their target functions. In contrast to prior work (Edelman et al., 2022; Trauger and Tewari, 2024), which derived generalization bounds from Rademacher complexity, we …
