Sparse Delta Memory boosts linear RNNs for better long-context recall

Researchers have introduced Sparse Delta Memory (SDM), a novel architecture designed to enhance the long-context recall capabilities of linear RNNs. By employing a sparse addressing scheme, SDM significantly increases the hidden state capacity of gated linear RNNs, outperforming traditional transformer architectures on in-context learning and long-context retrieval tasks under similar computational constraints. The architecture extends the Gated DeltaNet by utilizing sparse reads and writes to an explicit memory, and can further improve performance on common-knowledge and reasoning tasks when its initial state is learned as a parametric memory. AI
