IntSeqBERT Transformer Learns Arithmetic Structure in Integer Sequences

Researchers have developed IntSeqBERT, a novel Transformer model designed to understand and predict integer sequences found in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS). Unlike standard models, IntSeqBERT uses a dual-stream approach with continuous magnitude embeddings and sin/cos modulo embeddings to handle the vast range of values and arithmetic structures present in OEIS. The model achieved high accuracy in magnitude prediction and modulo prediction, significantly outperforming a tokenized Transformer baseline. A probabilistic Chinese Remainder Theorem solver further enhanced its next-term prediction capabilities, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in capturing complex arithmetic patterns. AI

    IntSeqBERT: Learning Arithmetic Structure in OEIS via Modulo-Spectrum Embeddings

    arXiv:2603.05556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Integer sequences in the OEIS span values from single-digit constants to astronomical factorials and exponentials, making prediction challenging for standard tokenised models that cannot handle out-of-vocabulary values or exploi…
