Lngram v2: Latent N-Gram Memory with Interpretable Discrete Representations

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

Lngram v2 introduces a latent N‑gram memory system that decouples memory routes, memory dimension, and backbone width, enabling scalable memory capacity for transformers. It employs context‑aware grouped‑query attention, a zero‑value sink, and counterfactual surrogate gradients to improve readout selectivity and routing trainability while preserving hard discrete addressing. Experiments on vision‑language models up to 30B parameters show consistent performance gains, reduced memory parameters, and stable semantic structure in the discrete IDs.

DepthWeave-KV: Token-Adaptive Cross-Layer Residual Factorization for Long-Context KV Cache Compression

arXiv:2607. 06523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context language model inference is increasingly limited by the memory bandwidth and capacity required to store key-value caches, yet existing compression methods often apply uniform budgets across layers or tokens and degrade retrieval when lexical cues and semantic states require different preservation.

Dynamic Linear Attention

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.

Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models

arXiv:2601. 07372v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales capacity via conditional computation, Transformers lack a native primitive for knowledge lookup, forcing them to inefficiently simulate retrieval through computation.
