|
| ## Architecture Innovation |
|
|
| ### TrueEvolvingAttention Mechanism |
|
|
| ```python |
| # TEMPORAL EVOLUTION (RECURRENT) - replaces position embeddings |
| for pos in range(seq_len): |
| evolution_factor = self.evolution_rate * (pos + 1) * (self.layer_idx + 1) |
| temporal_weight = torch.sin(evolution_factor * self.evolution_weights) |
| |
| # Recurrent memory update |
| pos_q = q[:, :, pos, :] + temporal_weight + self.memory_decay * current_memory |
| pos_k = k[:, :, pos, :] + temporal_weight + self.memory_decay * current_memory * 0.5 |
| |
| # Update memory for next position |
| current_memory = pos_q |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Key Components |
|
|
| 1. **Sin-based Temporal Weights**: `torch.sin(evolution_factor * evolution_weights)` |
| - Avoids saturation unlike tanh |
| - Provides distinct positional signals for long sequences |
|
|
| 2. **Recurrent Memory Updates**: `current_memory = pos_q` |
| - Token-by-token memory evolution |
| - Maintains dynamic context throughout sequence |
|
|
| 3. **Layer-aware Evolution**: `evolution_factor = rate * (pos + 1) * (layer_idx + 1)` |
| - Different temporal dynamics per layer |
| - Hierarchical positional encoding |
|
|
| ## Methodology |
|
|
| - **Model**: TrueEvolvingTransformer (256d, 6l, 8heads) |
| - **Sequence Lengths**: 512, 1024, 2048, 3072, 4096, 5120 tokens |
| - **Key Innovation**: NO position embeddings - only temporal evolution |
| - **Training**: 10 epochs per sequence length |
| - **Dataset**: Shakespeare text with GPT-2 tokenizer |
