The scale and expense of pre-training language models make efficient hyperparameter tuning essential, yet a principled guidance is still missing. In this work, we analyze language model pre-training dynamics from a local landscape geometry perspective. Our study reveals two distinct phases. In Phase I, sharpness of the...

A larger-batch configuration reduces time-to-target only when its throughput gain exceeds its samples-to-target penalty, and a larger-batch configuration reduces time-to-target only when its throughput gain exceeds its samples-to-target penalty.

Extracting total correlations from a quantum system usually requires reconstructing its state, whereas many experiments access only a few measurement settings. A possible shortcut is to add the mutual informations obtained from complementary measurements; in dimensions above two, however, this procedure can count the s...
This work proposes Mixture of Activations (MoA), a token-adaptive FFN design that mixes a dictionary of activation functions using lightweight input-dependent gates while sharing the same linear projections, suggesting that token-adaptive activation mixing is a simple and effective mechanism for improving FFN expressiv...
