Calculation of RoPE Frequency Parameters
In Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE), the individual frequency parameters are calculated using a fixed base, commonly 10000. This approach is analogous to the frequency settings used in sinusoidal positional embeddings. The formula for the k-th frequency component is given by: where is the dimensionality of the embedding and is the index of the component, ranging from $1d/2$.

Exponential Form of RoPE Frequency Parameters
In a transformer model using Rotary Positional Embeddings, the transformation for each token depends on its position and a vector of frequency parameters,
θ = [θ₁, ..., θ_{d/2}], where each componentθ_kcorresponds to a different 2-dimensional rotation. A researcher proposes a modification where all components of this vector are set to the same value (i.e.,θ₁ = θ₂ = ... = θ_{d/2}). What is the most likely consequence of this change on the model's ability to represent positional information?Effect of Modifying RoPE Frequency Parameters
