A multilevel approach to accelerate the training of Transformers

Guillaume Lauga, Maël Chaumette, Edgar Desainte-Maréville et al.

In this article, we investigate the potential of multilevel approaches to accelerate the training of transformer architectures. Using an ordinary differential equation (ODE) interpretation of these architectures, we propose an appropriate way of varying the discretization of these ODE Transformers in order to accelerate the training. We validate our approach experimentally by a comparison with the standard training procedure.
