Memory-Managed Long-Context Attention: A Preliminary Study of Editable Request-Local Memory

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 28876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language models often conflate two different goals: compressing history into an efficient state, and maintaining reliable long-term memory.

Memory-Managed Long-Context Attention: Bounded Editable Memory with a Hard Lifecycle and Calibrated Sparse Fallback

arXiv:2606. 28876v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study memory-managed long-context attention: explicit bounded memory with a learned query-independent writer, lifecycle control, query-aware reading, calibrated sparse fallback, and frozen-LLM generation from raw evidence.

Parallel Causal Associative Fields: Gated Sparse Memory for Long-Context Language Modeling

arXiv:2606. 10435v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformers achieve strong language modeling performance by providing direct token-to-token communication paths, but causal self-attention scales quadratically with context length.
