A new research paper introduces the concept of an "additive input pathway" in Householder linear RNNs, identifying it as a parasitic attractor that hinders state tracking. When this pathway is removed, the same architecture demonstrates an ability to learn and generalize to longer sequences, achieving perfect accuracy on certain tasks. The study suggests that the additive pathway destabilizes and conceals the correct automaton learning, with experiments showing that initializing models with this pathway disabled leads to exact generalization.
