We present a limited empirical study of scaling laws for transfer learning in transformer models. More specifically, we examine a scaling law that incorporates a "transfer gap" term, indicating the effectiveness of pre-training on one…

In a family of random variables, Taylor's law or Taylor's power law offluctuation scaling is a variance function that gives the variance $\sigma^{2}>0$ of a random variable (rv) $X$ with expectation $\mu >0$ as a powerof $\mu$: $\sigma…

We consider a system of $N$ parallel queues with identical exponential service rates and a single dispatcher where tasks arrive as a Poisson process. When a task arrives, the dispatcher always assigns it to an idle server, if there is any,…
