Challenge: Hand coding weights for efficient sequence memorisation

93

We hand coded weights for one layer MLPs that memorises labels for input token sequences of length two. The number of facts our hand-coded models can memorise with 90% accuracy[1]scales roughly linearly with the models' parameter count[2], just like trained models for the same architecture. However, our hand-coded models' scaling prefactor still falls short of trained models' by a factor of . A hybrid solution in which we handcode the MLP input weights and learn the MLP output weights, which amounts to a linear classification problem[3], falls short by a factor of .Figure 0: Max number of facts each model can learn when requiring 90% accuracy on evaluation. The fitted lines are best fit for solving for .We pose a challenge to the community: Find better constructions than ours that can memorise more facts in the same number of weights and close the gap to the trained solution further.[4]Background: Why sequence memorization, and why an MLP?The goal of this research is to get a clearer u...
