arXiv:2607.02386v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Vision Transformers have achieved remarkable success across computer vision and language applications, the geometric evolution of their internal representations throughout training remains insufficiently understood. Existing analyses primarily focus on attention mechanisms and downstream performance, leaving the evolution of representation geometry largely unexplored. In this work, we present Transformer Geometry Observatory-II (TGO-II), a representation geometry analysis framework designed to investigate how Transformer representations e
The rapid advancement and widespread adoption of Vision Transformers necessitate a deeper understanding of their internal mechanics for continued progress.
Understanding the geometric evolution of Transformer representations is crucial for enhancing model transparency, interpretability, and ultimately, design for next-generation AI systems.
This new framework offers a more systematic and in-depth method for analyzing Transformer representations beyond attention mechanisms and downstream performance.
