Under what circumstances can transformers compositionally generalize from a subset of tasks to all possible combinations of tasks that share similar components?

To further examine the hypothesis that the intrinsic hypernetwork of multi-head attention supports compositional generalization, we ablate whether making the hypernetwork generated linear value network nonlinear strengthens compositionality.

This allows us to relate the problem of compositional generalization to that of identification of the underlying modules.

Neural networks trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) starting from different random initialisations typically find functionally very similar solutions, raising the question of whether there are meaningful differences between different SGD solutions.

We find that patterned sparsity emerges from this process, with the pattern of sparsity varying on a problem-by-problem basis.

Humans and other animals are capable of improving their learning performance as they solve related tasks from a given problem domain, to the point of being able to learn from extremely limited data.
