Role of Positional Embeddings in Order-Insensitive Models
In models like the Transformer, token embeddings such as are typically position-independent, meaning they do not inherently contain information about their location in a sequence. This makes the model's processing order-insensitive. To provide this crucial positional context, positional embeddings, , are introduced. These are added to their corresponding token embeddings, allowing the model to distinguish between identical tokens at different positions.

In a sequence-to-sequence model, the input is processed by a stack of six encoder layers that have identical structures. A proposal is made to modify this architecture so that all six encoder layers share the exact same set of weights, with the goal of reducing the total number of model parameters. Which statement best analyzes the primary consequence of this change on the model's ability to process information?
A sentence is fed into the encoder side of a Transformer model. Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence to describe how the initial input is processed by the stack of encoders.

Comparison of Arbitrary Order Prediction and Masked Language Modeling
An engineer builds a language model where all input words in a sentence are processed simultaneously and independently before their information is combined. When testing the model with the sentences 'The cat chased the dog' and 'The dog chased the cat', the engineer observes that the model generates identical internal representations for both, failing to capture their different meanings. Which of the following modifications would most directly address this fundamental flaw?
