In recent years, there has been a proliferation of ready-to-use large language models (LLMs) designed for various applications, both general-purpose and domain-specific. Instead of advocating for the development of a new model or continuous pretraining of an existing one, this paper introduces a pra…
This paper novelly breaks down with ignorable loss an RNN layer into a sequence of simple RNNs, each of which can be further rewritten into a lightweight positional encoding matrix of a self-attention, named the Recurrence Encoding Matrix (REM). Thus, recurrent dynamics introduced by the RNN layer c…
The LSTM network was proposed to overcome the difficulty in learning long-term dependence, and has made significant advancements in applications. With its success and drawbacks in mind, this paper raises the question - do RNN and LSTM have long memory? We answer it partially by proving that RNN and…
