FiLM-Coordinated Dual-Branch Transformer for Global-Local Dependency Modeling in Language Modeling

arXiv:2606.21075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Standard Transformers use a single self-attention pathway to model both global dependencies and local patterns, creating tension between long-range structural reasoning and fine-grained local representation learning. We propose a FiLM-coordinated dual-branch Transformer for language modeling, where each layer explicitly contains a global branch and a local branch, and feature-wise linear modulation (FiLM) is used for dynamic cross-branch coordinati...
