Summarizing https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.14052.pdf
Here's my try:
We introduce a new approach to language modeling using state space models (SSMs) that incorporate sequential dependencies between words in a sentence and capture the dependencies between words in a sentence. Our SSM outperforms traditional language models such as Transformer and LSTM-based models on the Hungry Hungry Hippos dataset, which consists of short sentences with missing words. Additionally, we propose a new SSM layer, H3, that is explicitly designed for better recalling earlier tokens in the sequence and comparing tokens across the sequence. Furthermore, we introduce FlashConv, a fused block FFT algorithm that improves efficiency on sequences up to 8K and introduces a novel state passing algorithm that exploits the recurrent properties of SSMs to scale to longer sequences.
Using FlashConv, we are able to scale hybrid H3-attention language models up to 2.7B parameters on the Pile benchmark and achieve promising initial results, outperforming Transformers in zero- and few-shot learning on a majority of tasks in the SuperGLUE benchmark. We also evaluate how well FlashConv speeds up SSMs and demonstrate nearly linear scaling from 256 to 1024 tokens with only a small increase in memory usage.
