Positional Embeddings should be MuReadout parameters ?

Duplicate of question asked on the mutransformers repository (link)

Hi !
I was wondering if (learned) positional embeddings should be MuReadout layers, since they map to a finite dimensional space. Specifically

https://github.com/microsoft/mutransformers/blob/480287ce7b18a07a3432e8f2fbc0f0e5b71e2599/mutransformers/models/bert/modeling_bert.py#L174

self.position_embeddings = nn.Embedding(config.max_position_embeddings, config.hidden_size)

In addition to that, did you try using muP for sparse MoE models ? Am curious about any findings for those. Specifically, I was wondering if the routing gate (hdim, num_experts) would also be a MuReadout layer (if we don't scale the number of experts).

Would be grateful for any advice :)

Thank you !

Thank you !
I meant that the sequence length aspect is finite (similar to vocab size) ?
