Mitigating Position Bias in Transformers via Layer-Specific Positional Embedding Scaling

arXiv:2606.27705v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) still struggle with the ``lost-in-the-middle'' problem, where critical information located in the middle of long-context inputs is often underrepresented or lost. While existing methods attempt to address this by combining multi-scale rotary position embeddings (RoPE), they typically suffer from high latency or rely on suboptimal hand-crafted scaling strategies. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a layer-specific positional embedding scaling~(LPES) method that assigns distinct scaling factors to each layer. L
