  • Transformers, Time Series, and the Myth of Permutation Invariance

    Transformers, Time Series, and the Myth of Permutation Invariance There’s a common misconception in ML/DL that Transformers shouldn’t be used for forecasting because attention is permutation-invariant. Latest evidence shows the opposite, such as Google’s latest model, where the experiments show the model performs just as well with or without positional embeddings. You can find an…

  • Optimal Dynamic Regret by Transformers for Non-Stationary Reinforcement Learning

    Optimal Dynamic Regret by Transformers for Non-Stationary Reinforcement Learning arXiv:2508.16027v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers have demonstrated exceptional performance across a wide range of domains. While their ability to perform reinforcement learning in-context has been established both theoretically and empirically, their behavior in non-stationary environments remains less understood. In this study, we address this gap…

  • LLMs are Bayesian, in Expectation, not in Realization

    LLMs are Bayesian, in Expectation, not in Realization arXiv:2507.11768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models demonstrate remarkable in-context learning capabilities, adapting to new tasks without parameter updates. While this phenomenon has been successfully modeled as implicit Bayesian inference, recent empirical findings reveal a fundamental contradiction: transformers systematically violate the martingale property, a cornerstone requirement…

  • Behind the Magic: How Tensors Drive Transformers

    Behind the Magic: How Tensors Drive Transformers Introduction Transformers have changed the way artificial intelligence works, especially in understanding language and learning from data. At the core of these models are tensors (a generalized type of mathematical matrices that help process information) . As data moves through the different parts of a Transformer, these tensors…

  • Vision Transformers (ViT) Explained: Are They Better Than CNNs?

    Vision Transformers (ViT) Explained: Are They Better Than CNNs? 1. Introduction Ever since the introduction of the self-attention mechanism, Transformers have been the top choice when it comes to Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. Self-attention-based models are highly parallelizable and require substantially fewer parameters, making them much more computationally efficient, less prone to overfitting, and…
