Your Transformer is Secretly Linear

This repository contains the official implementation of the code for the paper Your Transformer is Secretly Linear.

We've also created a pip package containing the functions from notebook.

Use pip install llm-microscope to install it.

Example

import torch
from llm_microscope import  (
  calculate_anisotropy_torch,
  intrinsic_dimension,
  procrustes_similarity,
  procrustes_similarity_centered,
  load_enwiki_text
)

device = 'cpu'

X = torch.randn((1000, 10)) # pseudo-random "features", 1000 vectors with dim=10.
Y = torch.randn((1000, 10)) # pseudo-random "features", 1000 vectors with dim=10.

anisotropy = calculate_anisotropy_torch(X) # anisotropy score
int_dim = intrinsic_dimension(X, device) # intrinsic dimension
linearity_score = procrustes_similarity(X, Y) # linearity score from the paper
centered_linearity_score = procrustes_similarity_centered(X, Y) # the same as linearity between X and Y - X


# You can also download the dataset that we used in the paper using load_enwiki_text function:
text = llm_microscope.load_enwiki_text()
