The transformative DenseFormer modification to the standard transformer architecture proposed by Vaswani et al. in 2017 improves model perplexity without increased size, only requiring the addition of a few thousand parameters for large-scale models. The Depth-Weighted-Average (DWA) operation, which computes a weighted average of current and past representations after each transformer block, leads to a […]
