Transformerベースの言語モデルにおける次トークン予測の汎化誤差限界

A refined statistical understanding of LLM pre-training requires the analysis of the transformer architecture for data distributions that encapsulate key characteristics of text data. To address this, we propose a text data distribution based on an extension of the log-bilinear language model from the natural language processing literature. For this data generating process, we derive generalization bounds for deep transformer architectures, highlighting the dependence on the network architecture, the vocabulary size, the number of documents and the document length.
