27
+
28
+ > **First public dataset of attention-decay exponent γ measurements
29
+ > across transformer LLMs.**
30
+ > Companion to the paper *Predicting How Transformers Attend*
31
+ > (Marín 2026, [Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19826343](https://zenodo.org/records/19826343)).
32
+
33
+ ## What it is
34
+
35
+ Each record is one γ measurement on one (model, corpus, precision) tuple.
36
+ γ is the exponent of the power-law decay of attention weights at distance d:
37
+
38
+ ```
39
+ A(d) ∝ d^(-γ)
40
+ ```
41
+
42
+ predicted from RoPE geometry by the closed-form Padé formula
43
+
44
+ ```
45
+ γ_padé = (2θ - T√2) / (2θ + T√2)
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ where θ is the RoPE base frequency and T is the evaluation context length.
49
+
50
+ ## Coverage
51
+
52
+ - **32 models** across 12 families (Pythia, Qwen, Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi, OLMo, OLMoE, DeepSeek, StarCoder2, CodeLlama, GPT-J, SmolLM2, Falcon)
53
+ - **58 records** total
54
+ - **2 corpora**: real text (`real_text`, MongoDB English episodes) + random tokens (`random_tokens`)
55
+ - **2 precisions**: 4-bit NF4 (BitsAndBytes) + bfloat16
56
+ - **Includes random-init controls** (E2 falsifier on Pythia 70M/410M/1B with random Gaussian init, no pretraining) — establishes that the slope ν = ∂γ/∂log₁₀(P) ≈ −1/(2π) is genuinely a *training imprint*, not architecture artifact.

101
+ ## Usage
102
+
103
+ ```python
104
+ from datasets import load_dataset
105
+ ds = load_dataset("karlexmarin/taf-attention-decay")
106
+ print(ds["train"][0])
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ ```python
110
+ import pandas as pd
111
+ df = pd.read_json("taf-attention-decay.jsonl", lines=True)
112
+ df_text = df[df["measurement"].apply(lambda m: m["corpus"] == "real_text")]
113
+ df_text["gamma"] = df_text["measurement"].apply(lambda m: m["gamma"])
114
+ print(df_text.groupby("arch")["gamma"].describe())
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ ## Why this dataset exists
118
+
119
+ The attention-decay exponent γ is a single-number diagnostic of how
120
+ "locally" or "globally" a transformer attends. It connects RoPE geometry
121
+ to long-context behavior, KV-cache compression, NIAH retrieval, and
122
+ hallucination rates — see the companion paper for details.
123
+
124
+ Until now, no public dataset of γ measurements existed across LLMs.
125
+ This release closes that gap.
126
+
127
+ ## What's NOT in this dataset
128
+
129
+ - **Raw attention tensors** (TB-scale, redundant with model weights)
130
+ - **Per-layer per-head γ-fields** (separate dataset planned)
131
+ - **Training-trajectory γ over checkpoints** (separate, from Pythia ckpts)
132
+ - **Downstream task scores** (use RULER, LongBench-v2, HELM separately)
133
+

162
+ ## Acknowledgements
163
+
164
+ This dataset would not exist without:
165
+
166
+ - **EleutherAI** for the Pythia panel (8 sizes from 14M to 2.8B), the
167
+ primary scientific anchor of the framework.
168
+ - **AI2** for OLMo / OLMoE.
169
+ - **Meta**, **Mistral AI**, **Qwen team / Alibaba**, **Google DeepMind**,
170
+ **Microsoft**, **HuggingFace SmolLM team**, **DeepSeek-AI**, **TII**
171
+ (Falcon), and **BigScience** (BLOOM) for releasing weights publicly.
172
+ - The **HuggingFace Hub** for free hosting that made the measurements possible.
173
+
174
+ ## Reproducibility
175
+
176
+ The measurement protocol is fully open:
177
+ - Tool: [github.com/karlesmarin/tafagent](https://github.com/karlesmarin/tafagent), `cli/diagnose_model.py`
178
+ - Browser tool: [karlesmarin.github.io/tafagent](https://karlesmarin.github.io/tafagent)
179
+
180
+ Each row in this dataset can be reproduced from the original model weights
181
+ via the open tool. If you find a discrepancy, please open an issue at the
182
+ GitHub repo — refutations are welcome.
183
+
184
