Lower bounds on transformers with infinite precision
No confident code implementation found for this paper.
Abstract
In this note, we use the VC dimension technique to prove the first lower bound against one-layer softmax transformers with infinite precision. We do so for two tasks: function composition, considered by Peng, Narayanan, and Papadimitriou, and the SUM$_2$ task, considered by Sanford, Hsu, and Telgarsky.
