A machine learning researcher at Jane Street has explored the mathematical structure of positional encodings used in attention mechanisms. By formalizing desirable properties of these encodings, the research reveals that the space of possibilities is highly constrained, largely conforming to a one-parameter group structure. The analysis suggests that most sensible positional encodings are already in use in current systems, though a peculiar, unexplored class was also identified. AI
影响 Confirms current positional encoding methods are likely near-optimal, potentially saving research effort.
