Recurrent models fail at state tracking due to error dynamics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced a new perspective on state tracking within recurrent neural network architectures, emphasizing error control dynamics over theoretical expressive capacity. They demonstrate that affine recurrent networks, including State-Space Models and Linear Attention, struggle with robust state tracking due to their inability to correct errors along state-separating subspaces. This limitation leads to finite horizon solutions governed by accumulated error, with tracking accuracy predictably collapsing as the distinguishability ratio crosses a critical threshold. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new theoretical framework for understanding limitations in recurrent model state tracking, potentially guiding future architecture design.

    Rethinking State Tracking in Recurrent Models Through Error Control Dynamics

    The theory of state tracking in recurrent architectures has predominantly focused on expressive capacity: whether a fixed architecture can theoretically realize a set of symbolic transition rules. We argue that equally important is error control, the dynamics governing hidden-sta…
