Efficiency and Scaling in Transformers
Efficiency and scaling in transformers are crucial considerations due to the linear scaling advantage compared to the quadratic scaling of traditional transformers. This efficiency advantage is particularly beneficial when dealing with large datasets. However, the longer processing time of transformers also indicates their ability to model complex data better, introducing a trade-off between efficiency and modeling capability. Transformers can be seen as fuzzy compressors that benefit from exact retrieval or caching, allowing for comprehensive data processing and memorization of every token encountered for improved analysis.
