Elastic Spectral State Space Models for Train-Once Budgeted Inference

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

Elastic Spectral State Space Models (ES-SSM) are a train‑once, export‑many sequence modeling framework that achieves elasticity by spectrally approximating the state‑space operator. The method builds on Hankel spectral filtering, using fixed spectral channels to represent long‑range token mixing and combining input‑adaptive gates with budget dropout to enable reliable deployment across different resource budgets. ES‑SSM is evaluated on byte‑level language modeling, Long Range Arena, Speech Commands V2, and offline reinforcement learning, showing that a single trained model can be truncated to competitive compact models while maintaining smooth quality‑cost curves across a wide range of truncation levels.

Aligning Inductive Bias for Data-Efficient Generalization in State Space Models

The paper introduces a framework for aligning the inductive bias of linear time‑invariant State Space Models (SSMs) with task‑specific spectral characteristics. By formalizing the bias through an SSM‑induced kernel and showing its spectrum is governed by the model’s frequency response, the authors propose Task‑Dependent Initialization (TDI), a fast power‑spectrum matching method. Experiments on synthetic data, one‑layer SSMs, and deep SSMs across real‑world benchmarks demonstrate that TDI improves data‑efficient generalization when the task’s spectral structure differs from the default SSM bias.
