Learning Length-Extrapolatable Recurrent Models

The paper investigates why recurrent models often fail to generalize beyond their training horizon, noting that vanishing or exploding gradients are not the sole cause. It introduces the concept of state credit—the influence of future losses on earlier recurrent states—and proposes Credit Stabilization through Time (CST), a method that rescales this signal during backpropagation to stabilize its norm. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that CST enables models to perform well up to 128 times longer than their training length.
