We provide an exactly solvable example for interpreting In-Context Learning (ICL) with one-layer attention models as conditional retrieval of dense associative memory models. Our main contribution is to interpret ICL as memory reshaping in the modern Hopfield model from a conditional memory set (in-…
The concept of *persona*, originally adopted in dialogue literature, has re-surged as a promising framework for tailoring large language models (LLMs) to specific context (*e.g.*, personalized search, LLM-as-a-judge). However, the growing research on leveraging persona in LLMs is relatively disorgan…
We propose a two-stage optimization formulation for the memory retrieval dynamics of modern Hopfield models, termed $\mathtt{U\text{-}Hop}$. Our key contribution is a learnable feature map $\Phi$ which transforms the Hopfield energy function into a kernel space. This transformation ensures convergen…
