Exposing Attention Glitches with Flip-Flop Language Modeling

Neural Information Processing Systems

This simple generative task requires a model to copy binary symbols over long-range dependencies, ignoring the tokens in between. We find that Transformer FFLMs suffer from a long tail of sporadic reasoning errors, some of which we can eliminate using various regularization techniques.

A.1 Summary of Commonly Used Metrics for T ext Generation Table 1: Summary of commonly used metrics for text generation. For settings and tasks, we only list the ones justified by the original paper for each metric. We conduct experiments on WMT19, and the results are shown in Tab. 2. We don't observe A.3 Prompt Set In Tab. 3, we list the full prompt set for both s h direction and h r direction.

Compositional De-Attention Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Thispaperproposes a new quasi-attention that is compositional in nature, i.e., learning whether to add, subtract or nullify a certain vector when learning representations. This is strongly contrasted with vanilla attention, which simply re-weights input tokens.
