Scaling Laws vs Model Architectures: How does Inductive Bias Influence Scaling?. (arXiv:2207.10551v1 [cs.LG])

There have been a lot of interest in the scaling properties of Transformer
models. However, not much has been done on the front of investigating the
effect of scaling properties of different inductive biases and model
architectures. Do model architectures scale differently? If so, how does
inductive bias affect scaling behaviour? How does this influence upstream
(pretraining) and downstream (transfer)? This paper conducts a systematic study
of scaling behaviour of ten diverse model architectures such as Transformers,
Switch Transformers, Universal …
