From Expressivity to Sample Complexity: Narrow Teachers for Transformers via C-RASP

A theoretical understanding of Transformers is crucial to better understand the capacities and limitations of large language models (LLMs). There is much work analyzing the expressivity of attention-based models. By proposing handcrafted weights or using computational complexity arguments, a large amount of past theoretical works have sought to characterize which tasks are and which are not in the hypothesis class of Transformer models. However, little work investigates the learnability of such…
