That's true, but you still have positional embeddings, and Q and K weights that are learned

Fine-tuning RoBERTa for Sentiment Classification to 95% Accuracy
By

Then, you can boost that performance (on the same movie review sentiment classification dataset) to ~95% finetuning model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained( "siebert/sentiment-roberta-large-english", num_labels=2)

Ditching Word2Vec for Superior LLM Embeddings in Classification
By
–
I would ditch Word2Vec; the embeddings learned by LLMs are much better. For sentiment classification, you can start with DistilBERT as a base model and tune a few layers (see https://

RNN-based LLMs and information retention patterns
By
–
This is quite interesting … 1) I would expect that the opposite is true for, e.g., RNN-based LLMs like RWKV (since it's processing information sequentially, it might rather forget early information) 3/5

Transformer Architecture and Middle Document Retrieval Performance Bias
By
–
2) To my knowledge, there is no specific inductive bias in transformer-based LLM architectures that explains why the retrieval performance should be worse for text in the middle of the document. 4/5

LLM Attention Weights: Training Data Structure and Human Writing Patterns
By
–
I suspect it is all because of the training data and how humans write: the most important information is usually in the beginning or the end (think paper Abstracts and Conclusion sections), and it's then how LLMs parameterize the attention weights during training. 5/5

Long Context LLMs: Promise and the Middle Information Problem
By
–
We have seen a new wave of LLMs for longer contexts: 1) RMT, 2) Hyena LLM & 3) LongNet There are several use-cases for such long LLMs but the elephant in the room is: How well do LLMs use these longer contexts? Turns out not so well if info is in the middle of the input.

LLMs Struggle Retrieving Information from Document Middle
By
–
According to "Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts" (
https://
arxiv.org/abs/2307.03172) LLMs are good at retrieving information at the beginning of documents. They do less well in terms of retrieving information if its contained in the middle of a document. 2/5
