Researchers have identified that the ability of recurrent neural networks to learn long-range dependencies is hindered by how quickly past input influence fades. This fade, characterized by an envelope function, can be either exponential (leading to collapse and difficulty learning) or power-law (allowing for polynomial learning cost). The study reveals that this behavior emerges from the interplay between the network's state dynamics and parameter dynamics, with heavy-tailed fluctuations in learning playing a crucial role in sustaining long-range learning by counteracting the tendency towards rapid forgetting.
