Selective State Space Models Show Token Consensus Similar to Transformers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have explored the dynamics of selective state space models (SSMs), comparing their token aggregation mechanisms to those in transformers. By analyzing SSMs from a dynamical systems perspective, they found that the recurrence within SSMs drives tokens toward consensus, similar to how attention functions in transformers. This consensus is characterized by local exponential stability, though numerical experiments with Mamba-2 suggest the output gate regulates the extent of this convergence. AI

IMPACT Provides theoretical insights into the convergence properties of SSMs, potentially influencing future model architectures.
