Metric Automata Theory: A Unifying Theory of RNNs
NeurIPS 2025poster
We propose Metric Automata Theory, an elegant generalisation of classic Automata Theory to continuous dynamical systems, that constitutes a unifying theory of all kinds of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), including widely-adopted architectures such as xLSTM and State Space Models (SSMs). The theory…
