Overcoming Sparse Activation in LLMs
Enhancing model efficiency with multi-layer expert systems
Finedeep addresses the sparse activation problem in dense LLMs by introducing a novel architecture that partitions feed-forward neural networks into multiple specialized experts across sub-layers.
- Combats the inefficiency where many activation values approach zero
- Enables more efficient exploration of the model's representation space
- Creates fine-grained expert structures that better utilize model capacity
- Demonstrates improved performance over traditional dense architectures
This engineering innovation represents a significant advancement for more efficient and effective LLM architectures, potentially reducing computational waste while enhancing model capabilities.
