## Line Chart: ΔP vs. Layer for Llama-3 Models ### Overview The image presents two line charts comparing the change in performance (ΔP) across layers for two Llama-3 models: Llama-3-8B and Llama-3-70B. The x-axis represents the layer number, and the y-axis represents ΔP. Each chart displays multiple lines, each representing a different question-answering dataset and anchoring method. ### Components/Axes * **Title (Left Chart):** Llama-3-8B * **Title (Right Chart):** Llama-3-70B * **X-axis Label (Both Charts):** Layer * **Y-axis Label (Both Charts):** ΔP * **X-axis Scale (Left Chart):** 0 to 30 * **X-axis Scale (Right Chart):** 0 to 80 * **Y-axis Scale (Both Charts):** -30 to 0 * **Legend (Bottom-Center):** * Q-Anchored (PopQA) -

The negative ΔP values suggest a degradation in performance as the model progresses through its layers. The steeper decline in ΔP for the Llama-3-70B model indicates that the larger model may be more susceptible to performance degradation in deeper layers. The difference between Q-Anchored and A-Anchored lines suggests that the method of anchoring the questions or answers impacts performance, with question-anchoring generally leading to lower ΔP values. The consistently lower performance on the NQ dataset suggests that this dataset presents a greater challenge for the models. The overall trend suggests that while the models perform well in the initial layers, their performance deteriorates as they process information through deeper layers. This could be due to issues like vanishing gradients or the accumulation of errors during processing. Further investigation is needed to understand the underlying causes of this performance degradation and to develop strategies for mitigating it.
