Enhancing Language Models with JRT-Prompt and JRT-RNN
Practical Solutions and Value
Language modeling has made significant progress in understanding, generating, and manipulating human language. Large language models based on Transformer architectures excel in handling long-range dependencies in text, but demand substantial memory and computational resources. Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) offer a memory-efficient alternative but often compromise recall quality over long sequences.
Researchers from Stanford University and the University at Buffalo introduced two innovative methods to address these limitations:
- JRT-Prompt: Repeats the context in prompts to enhance recall.
- JRT-RNN: Employs a non-causal recurrent architecture to improve context processing.
JRT-Prompt effectively reduces the reliance on the sequence in which data is presented, while JRT-RNN utilizes prefix-linear attention to enhance the model’s ability to recall and use information efficiently.
Both methods demonstrated substantial improvements in recall quality and computational efficiency:
- JRT-Prompt achieved an 11.0 ± 1.3 point improvement across various tasks and models, with 11.9 times higher throughput than the FlashAttention-2 for generation prefill.
- JRT-RNN provided up to a 13.7-point improvement in quality at 360 million parameters and a 6.9-point improvement at 1.3 billion parameters, along with 19.2 times higher throughput.
Their effectiveness was further validated through extensive empirical studies, showcasing their potential to provide efficient and high-quality language modeling solutions.
