Un ChatGPT que hace dos tareas a la vez rinde peor que uno que las separa

The authors formulate the state-prediction separation hypothesis, which proposes that disentangling a Transformer's next-token prediction role from its state-storage role yields better language modeling performance.

El vistazo de 30 segundos

Un modelo de lenguaje como el que hay detrás de ChatGPT hace dos cosas al mismo tiempo con la misma maquinaria: adivina la siguiente palabra y, a la vez, guarda apuntes internos que le harán falta para adivinar las palabras que vienen después.

  1. They designed a Transformer variant that uses two separate computation streams to separate the prediction function from the state-storage function.
  2. They conducted pretraining experiments across various scales to test the hypothesis.
  3. Their experiments show that state-prediction separation consistently offers better data and compute efficiencies.
Outperforms standard Transformers by 2 to 3 percentage points on average on downstream tasksTwo computation streams used to separate the prediction and state-storage functions
