Researchers explore deep Transformers as neural ODEs with spectral analysis via DMD

PTenigma · x · 2026-11-05

A technical thread discussing research that views deep Transformers as neural ODEs, with attention defining a state-dependent interaction matrix. The commenter notes their own spectral analysis of data flowing through networks relates closely to the DMD-based approach, which studies the spectrum of the transition operator. The work is described as a highly efficient compression, possibly approaching a minimum description length model.
