How Linear Is a Transformer Feed-Forward Block? Per-Block Linear Recoverability Is Learned, Not Architectural

Researchers measured the actual linearity of transformer feed-forward network blocks across multiple language models, finding that linearity varies dramatically between adjacent blocks and is learned during training rather than determined by architecture. This discovery enables targeted compression strategies and reveals methodological issues in evaluating transformer models.

PermDoRA -- Understanding Adapter Interference in Language Models: Limits of Parameter-Space Geometry

Researchers challenge the conventional wisdom that adapter interference in language models stems from parameter-space geometry by testing whether orthogonal or directionally independent updates reduce cross-domain interference. Their findings using DoRA-RBAC on multiple LLMs show geometry-aware merging provides no consistent advantage, suggesting interference mechanisms operate in shared nonlinear representations rather than linear parameter space.
