arXiv:2503. 18970v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Structured State Space Models (SSMs) have become a prominent class of sequence models, developed against two long-standing difficulties: the sequential computation and gradient propagation limits of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and the quadratic time and memory cost of self-attention in Transformers.

Kalman Delta Networks (KDNs) extend linear attention models by treating associative memory as a linear–Gaussian state‑space system, enabling the Kalman filter to optimally estimate both memory state and its uncertainty. Two GPU‑friendly approximations—Diagonal KDN and Isotropic KDN—use mean‑field variational inference or a single scalar uncertainty per head, respectively, to maintain tractable uncertainty recurrences during linear‑attention scans. Experiments on 750 M and 1.3 B‑parameter models show that KDN variants consistently lower perplexity and raise downstream accuracy compared to existing linear‑attention baselines.
