A new study published on arXiv demonstrates a correlation between the processing time of words in the Mamba language model and human reading times. Researchers found that Mamba's per-word timestep, a measure of recurrent state transition duration, significantly predicts how long humans take to read specific words. This finding holds even when controlling for other linguistic predictors like GPT-2 surprisal. The study suggests Mamba's architecture could offer new insights into human language processing, particularly regarding how models manage short-term and long-term information. AI
