Paper links linear RNNs to circuits, explaining parallelization

Researchers have explored linear RNNs (LRNNs) as language models, noting their expressivity and parallelizability. A new paper connects LRNNs to arithmetic circuits, explaining their parallel nature by showing they are similar to log-depth circuits, unlike nonlinear RNNs which can solve more complex problems. This theoretical work identifies expressivity differences between LRNN variants and provides a foundation for designing LLM architectures that balance expressivity and parallelism. AI

IMPACT Provides theoretical grounding for designing LLM architectures that balance expressivity and parallelism.

    Why Are Linear RNNs More Parallelizable?

    arXiv:2603.03612v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The community is increasingly exploring linear RNNs (LRNNs) as language models, motivated by their expressive power and parallelizability. While prior work establishes the expressivity benefits of LRNNs over transformers, …
