arXiv:2606.03825v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformers have become the dominant architecture for large language models, largely due to the scalability and flexibility of attention, feed-forward layers, residual connections, and normalization. This paper introduces dynamic short convolutions as an additional neural network primitive for improving Transformers. Unlike static short convolutions, dynamic convolutions use input-dependent filters, which preserves the locality bias of convolution while increasing expressivity. Motivating experiments show that applying dynamic short convolutio
The continuous drive for more efficient and performant AI models, especially large language models, necessitates ongoing architectural innovation to push capabilities and reduce resource consumption.
Architectural improvements to Transformers can lead to more capable, faster, and less computationally intense AI, impacting development costs and deployment scalability across various applications.
The proposed addition of dynamic short convolutions offers a new primitive that could enhance Transformer architectures, potentially leading to more efficient and powerful large language models.
