LoopMTP: A looped transformer guided by latent multi-token prediction

Behzad Shomali, Markus Frey, David Berghaus, Joachim Koehler, Mehdi Ali

Links looping to multi-token prediction: a model that loops T times should anticipate T future tokens, so the hidden state at loop t is softly aligned with the embedding of the token t steps ahead, with a gate preserving useful information across iterations.

Inside the method

[ Stack ] × T, loop t ↔ embedding of token t steps ahead

Simplified conceptual schematic. Consult the paper for the complete architecture.

Reading note

Improves average accuracy by up to 8.1% relative over the non-looped baseline, with stable training up to 15 loops.
