Linear RNNs show promise in state-tracking tasks by converting them to code

Researchers have developed a method to convert permutation composition tasks into code, enabling linear RNNs to excel where Transformers have previously struggled. This approach addresses the incompatibility of state-tracking tasks with the next-token prediction training commonly used for language models. The study also investigates the inherent difficulty of tracking states in code when actions are not fully observable, framing it as a probabilistic finite-state automaton problem where linear RNNs may underperform non-linear ones.

IMPACT This research could lead to new training methods for sequence models, potentially improving their ability to handle complex state-tracking tasks.
