Researchers have explored how sequence models, particularly Transformers, process latent stochastic dynamics under noisy and partially observed data. Their study in a controlled multivariate stochastic volatility setting revealed a two-stage computation where hidden representations capture information about the next latent state, which is then mapped to return forecasts. The research indicates that in Transformers, this latent-state decodability emerges at specific architectural stages, and in long-cycle regimes, it simplifies into an explicit latent-state filter. Output-head replacement experiments further suggested that performance degradation under noisy Mean Squared Error (MSE) training is partly due to readout misalignment rather than solely representation failure.
