Stuffed Mamba: Oversized States Lead to the Inability to Forget
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
- Recent research highlights challenges faced by Mamba-based models in effectively forgetting earlier tokens, even with built-in mechanisms, due to training on contexts that are too short for their state size. This leads to performance degradation and incoherent outputs when processing longer sequences.
- The findings underscore the limitations of current recurrent architectures in managing memory and context, which is crucial for enhancing the efficiency and coherence of language models in various applications.
- This issue reflects a broader concern in AI regarding the balance between memory retention and the ability to forget, as seen in studies exploring the representational capabilities of Mamba and its variants, which are gaining traction in both language and vision tasks.
