Characterizing Mamba's Selective Memory using Auto-Encoders

arXiv — cs.CLThursday, December 18, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A recent study has characterized the selective memory of Mamba's state space models (SSMs) using auto-encoders, revealing the types of tokens and sequences that are frequently forgotten during long sequence processing. This research addresses a critical knowledge gap in understanding the information loss associated with SSMs in language modeling.
  • The findings are significant for the development of Mamba's language models, as they provide insights into the limitations of fixed memory usage during inference, which could inform future improvements in model architecture and performance.
  • This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the capabilities of state space models compared to traditional transformers, highlighting the potential for SSMs to perform competitively in various applications, including language processing and beyond, as seen in recent advancements across different domains such as image recognition and action recognition.
