Papers
- SSA: Improving Performance With a Better Scoring Function (2026 · 1 citation)
Transformers trained for in-context learning (ICL) often break down under simple distribution shifts. The authors trace part of this failure to Softmax, the attention scoring function. They train small GPT-2-style models from scratch on two synthetic ICL tasks. One task judges "every" and "some" statements over… - TELL-TALE: Task Efficient LLMs with Task Aware Layer Elimination (2026 · 1 citation)
Modern LLMs run every input through all of their layers, yet many layers contribute little or even hurt accuracy on a specific downstream task.
