Summary

The article introduces Raven, a new State Space Model (SSM) with selective memory allocation that achieves state-of-the-art performance on recall tasks and demonstrates superior length generalization compared to existing models like SWA.

1/ SSMs struggle on recall benchmarks due to their fixed-size state. But are current models actually storing context “wisely”? Introducing Raven , the first SSM with selective memory allocation! Raven achieves SOTA performance on recall-heavy tasks with the highest length generalization, extending up to 16× beyond its training sequence length. Raven is a strict upgrade over SWA in the way it stores past context! This is the most elegant model I’ve been involved in designing so far shoutout to @avivbick and @_albertgu for their trust and amazing work! Check out how Raven bridges between SWA and SSM
