LLM Embeddings Spark Redundancy Debate: Members debated the rationale of using a single large matrix for the embedding matrix in LLMs, questioning its potential redundancy.
- One member suggested using a deeper MLP to save on the number of weights, prompting discussions about the trade-offs between expressivity and parameter efficiency.
PCA Alignment Attracts Algorithm Attention: Members considered applying PCA to the input embeddings to achieve axis-alignment and potentially use a highly sparse triangular matrix.
- The idea involved rotating the LLM's internal embeddings, but the feasibility of doing so remained uncertain.
Low Rank Projection Plunges Parameter Predicament: One member suggested a two-layer MLP with an internal dimension smaller than d as a straightforward approach, but doubts were raised about compressing the input embedding into a space smaller than the model's hidden size.
- It was noted that with two matrices (NxL) and (LxH) instead of just (NxH), L would need to be less than H/2 for parameter efficiency, leading to halved dimensionality without memory benefits or improved performance.
Character-Level LLMs Compete for Comprehension: A member expressed curiosity about whether character-level LLMs could match the performance of tokenized LLMs if FLOPS were normalized across training and inference.
- It was noted that prior publications on byte-level transformers introduced intermediate steps to group characters, suggesting that a direct approach may not be as effective.
Dynamic Differentiable Hashing Debated: Some members proposed dynamic hashing techniques that are differentiable, aiming to maintain almost-orthogonality among tokens during training and group tokens closer together.
- It was noted that a tree or bucket hash could be used for de-embedding and might be more efficient than a matrix multiplication at inference time, though such methods aren't inherently differentiable.
