Back to recurrent processing at the crossroad of transformers and state-space models - Nature Machine Intelligence While transformers and large language models excel at efficiently processing long sequences, new approaches have been proposed that incorporate recurrence to overcome the quadratic cost of self-attent...

(Top) A standard MLP catastrophically forgets samples learned online when data distribution shifts

(Bottom) A Memory Head is capable to avoid forgetting thanks to its learnable key-value routing mechanism. Keys become representative of the data distribution.

TL;DR: in Memory Heads, neurons route their computation across a learnable key-value mechanism
⚡️ dynamic behaviour depending on their own input.
⚡ Only the units(weights) that are relevant to process the observed sample are blended ➡ parameter isolation

A thread🧵

🌟 Best of Both Worlds!

❓Have you ever wondered why hybrid models (RNN + Transformers) are powerful? We answer this through the lens of circuit complexity and graphs!

Excited to share our work on understanding Graph Sequence Models (GSM), which allows the use of any sequence model for graphs.
