New research details how input correlations shape memory in linear recurrent neural networks

A new paper published on arXiv explores how temporal correlations in input data affect memory formation within linear recurrent neural networks (LRNNs). The research reveals that these correlations significantly alter the learning process, leading to networks that retain less of the past. A key finding is that memory retention switches off at a threshold determined by the similarity between consecutive inputs, rather than sequence length or longer-range correlations. The study also demonstrates that networks can learn to become change detectors when trained on correlated data, with an optimal configuration including a feedthrough path for current input. AI
