Primer
Introduced by David R. So et al. in Primer: Searching for Efficient Transformers for Language Modeling
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Primer is a Transformer-based architecture that improves upon the Transformer architecture with two improvements found through neural architecture search: squared RELU activations in the feedforward block, and depthwise convolutions added to the attention multi-head projections: resulting in a new module called Multi-DConv-Head-Attention.

Tasks archive 2025-07-28
18 tasks the archive attaches to papers tagged with this method, by distinct papers. A task without a page in the catalog is plain text.
Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
