arXiv:2606. 08804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear attention reformulates sequence modeling as recurrent state evolution, enabling efficient linear-time inference.
arXiv:2606. 09888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear attention provides an efficient backbone for long-sequence recommendation by avoiding the quadratic cost of standard Transformers, but its compressed recurrent state can be dominated by repetitive behavior patterns.
arXiv:2605. 08696v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Over the last two decades, language modeling has experienced a shift from the use of predominantly recurrent architectures that process tokens sequentially during training and inference to non-recurrent models that process sequence elements in parallel during training, which results in greater training efficiency and stability at the expense of lower inference throughput.
arXiv:2608. 16844v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The quadratic cost of attention-based sequence models for long contexts has motivated a growing line of research on memory-based models that can compress context into a compact state.
arXiv:2608. 15533v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linear attention models eliminate the quadratic prefix computation and context-growing KV cache of softmax attention by replacing pairwise token interactions with recurrent state updates.
arXiv:2606. 01294v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Linear attention reduces the quadratic cost of softmax attention by maintaining a recurrent fast-weight state, but it consistently lags on in-context retrieval and long-context tasks.
arXiv:2608. 12435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers owe much of their strong long-context retrieval capability to a token-level memory that grows with context length.
arXiv:2603. 05353v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for long-context question answering is bottlenecked by inference-time prefilling over large retrieved contexts.
arXiv:2606. 12364v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers dominate modern sequence modeling, but their quadratic attention incurs substantial computational cost.
arXiv:2606. 10650v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The scalability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to long contexts is fundamentally constrained by the quadratic complexity of standard attention, motivating the adoption of linear attention mechanisms with sub-quadratic cost.
The scalability of Large Language Models (LLMs) to long contexts is fundamentally constrained by the quadratic complexity of standard attention, motivating the adoption of linear attention mechanisms with sub-quadratic cost. To improve representation capacity under long contexts, recent approaches organize memory in a multi-state manner.
arXiv:2608. 03048v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context reasoning remains a critical bottleneck for large language models, as recent recurrent-memory approaches face two inherent challenges: sequential chunk-wise updates can overwrite early critical evidence with later irrelevant content, and serial inter-chunk dependencies limit parallelism and cause latency to increase with context length.
arXiv:2608. 02032v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern language models are built primarily from Transformers, recurrent models, and their hybrid architectures.
