## Line Chart: Answer Accuracy vs. Layer for Llama Models ### Overview The image presents two line charts comparing the answer accuracy of different question-answering (QA) datasets across layers in two Llama models: Llama-3.2-1B and Llama-3.2-3B. The x-axis represents the layer number, and the y-axis represents the answer accuracy, ranging from 0 to 100. Each line represents a different QA dataset and anchoring method. ### Components/Axes * **X-axis:** Layer (ranging from 0 to 15 for Llama-3.2-1B and 0 to 25 for Llama-3.2-3B). * **Y-axis:** Answer

lines exhibit higher accuracy than the A-Anchored lines across all datasets and models. * Accuracy tends to peak around layer 5 for both models and then plateaus or slightly declines. * The Llama-3.2-3B model generally maintains higher accuracy levels across all datasets and layers compared to the Llama-3.2-1B model. * PopQA, TriviaQA, and HotpotQA datasets show higher accuracy compared to NQ. ### Interpretation The charts demonstrate the impact of model size (1B vs. 3B parameters) and anchoring method (Q-Anchored vs. A-Anchored) on answer accuracy across different QA datasets. The higher accuracy of the 3B model suggests that increasing model capacity improves performance. The consistently higher accuracy of Q-Anchored methods indicates that anchoring questions is more effective than anchoring answers for these datasets. The varying performance across datasets highlights the importance of dataset characteristics in evaluating QA models. The initial rise in accuracy followed by a plateau or decline suggests that there may be a point of diminishing returns with increasing layers, and further optimization or architectural changes may be needed to sustain performance gains. The differences in accuracy between datasets could be due to variations in question complexity, data quality, or the types of reasoning required to answer the questions.
