A new paper from arXiv explores the limitations of state tracking in recurrent neural network architectures, arguing that error control dynamics are as crucial as theoretical expressivity. The research demonstrates that affine recurrent networks, including State-Space Models and Linear Attention, struggle to correct errors in hidden-state drift, leading to finite-horizon solutions rather than robust state tracking. This breakdown is predictable and occurs when the distinguishability ratio of states crosses a readability threshold, impacting downstream accuracy. AI
IMPACT This research highlights a fundamental limitation in current recurrent architectures, potentially guiding the development of more robust state-tracking mechanisms for AI systems.
