Sammendrag
The content delves into the emergence phenomenon in large language models (LLMs) through multifractal analysis of neuron interactions during training. By introducing concepts like "self-organization" and "multifractal analysis," the study sheds light on how simple micro-level interactions among neurons lead to complex macro-level behaviors. The proposed Neuron-based Multifractal Analysis (NeuroMFA) method allows for a comprehensive examination of emergent behavior in LLMs, paving new research avenues. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding internal dynamics and evolving interactions during training to grasp the essence of emergence.
The advent of large models has revolutionized artificial intelligence, showcasing remarkable capabilities across various domains. Recent studies highlight that larger LLMs exhibit advanced cognitive functions and comprehension levels compared to smaller neural networks. This scaling law of performance indicates a linear correlation between model size and reducible loss on a logarithmic scale, with a notable leap in model performance upon reaching a certain scale defined as "emergence." However, previous research often overlooks the evolution of model performance during training, essential for understanding emergent abilities.
The content introduces NeuroMFA as a tool to quantify regularity and heterogeneity in neuron interaction networks (NINs), enabling a deeper understanding of self-organization perspectives. By analyzing fractal properties among neurons, NeuroMFA provides insights into model training progression and intelligence emergence within LLMs. The study's contributions include presenting LLMs as neuron interaction networks, introducing NeuroMFA for quantifying NIN properties, and proposing metrics to measure emergence degrees in LLMs based on neuron self-organization.
