We present The Transformer Cookbook: a collection of recipes for programming algorithms directly into transformers!

Hungry for an induction head? Craving a Dyck language recognizer? We show you step-by-step how to cook up transformers for these algorithms and many more!

🧵 Excited to share our paper "Unique Hard Attention: A Tale of Two Sides" with Selim, Jiaoda, and Ryan, where we show that the way transformers break ties in attention scores has profound implications on their expressivity! And it got accepted to ACL! :)

Unique Hard Attention: A Tale of Two Sides
Understanding the expressive power of transformers has recently attracted attention, as it offers insights into their abilities and limitations. Many studies analyze unique hard attention transformers...

Current KL estimation practices in RLHF can generate high variance and even negative values! We propose a provably better estimator that only takes a few lines of code to implement.🧵👇

I will be at #NeurIPS2024 in Vancouver. I am excited to meet people working on AI Safety and Security. Drop a DM if you want to meet.

I will be presenting two (spotlight!) works. Come say hi to our posters.
