Equation for Matching Periods in RoPE Base Scaling

An AI engineer is adapting a language model that was originally trained to handle sequences of 2000 tokens. The model uses a positional encoding method where each token's embedding is rotated by an angle corresponding to its position. The goal is to enable the model to process sequences up to 8000 tokens without a full retraining. The underlying mathematical principle of this encoding method states that applying a scaled rotation is equivalent to applying the original rotation with a transformed

Explaining RoPE Scaling Equivalence

When adapting a rotary positional encoding system for longer text sequences, the principle of transformation equivalence states that applying a new, scaled rotation function with a transformed angle is equivalent to applying the original rotation function with the original angle.
