3️⃣ We explain why structural information in PE has proven to be empirically successful. 

We go back to 1️⃣ and use the content-context connection to show that the higher is the mutual information between data and its positional representation, the better is task performance.

2️⃣ We introduce a new positional encoding method - RoPEPool - that can model causality.

How does RoPEPool compare to RoPE and F-StrIPE? Our analysis with a toy example says: RoPEPool isn’t just different, it’s also richer in terms of expressivity.

1️⃣ We show how different families of positional encoding - rotation-based (RoPE) and random fourier features-based (F-StrIPE) - can be compared using kernel methods. 

It’s not just vibes - we characterize precisely how queries and keys are affected by positional information.
