• Abstract summary: We propose Look-Ahead Memory (LaMemo) that enhances the recurrence memory by incrementally attending to the right-side tokens. LaMemo embraces bi-directional attention and segment recurrence with an additional overhead only linearly proportional to the memory length. Experiments on widely used language modeling benchmarks demonstrate its superiority over the baselines equipped with different types of memory.

• Abstract: Although Transformers with fully connected self-attentions are powerful to model long-term dependencies, they are struggling to scale to long texts with thousands of words in language modeling. One of the solutions is to equip the model with a recurrence memory. However, existing approaches directly reuse hidden states from the previous segment that encodes contexts in a uni-directional way. As a result, this prohibits the memory to dynamically interact with the current context that provides up-to-date information for token prediction. To remedy this issue, we propose Look-Ahead Memory (LaMemo) that enhances the recurrence memory by incrementally attending to the right-side tokens, and interpolating with the old memory states to maintain long-term information in the history. LaMemo embraces bi-directional attention and segment recurrence with an additional computation overhead only linearly proportional to the memory length. Experiments on widely used language modeling benchmarks demonstrate its superiority over the baselines equipped with different types of memory.

Central to COMEDY is the concept of compressive memory, which intergrates session-specific summaries, user-bot dynamics, and past events into a concise memory format.

  We propose a novel framework, selfmem, for improving retrieval-augmented generation models. Selfmem iteratively employs a retrieval-augmented generator to create an unbounded memory pool and using a memory selector to choose one output as memory for the subsequent generation round. We evaluate the effectiveness of selfmem on three distinct text generation tasks.

First, it connects several efficient attention variants that would otherwise seem apart. Last, we present a new instance of ABC, which draws inspiration from existing ABC approaches, but replaces their memory-organizing functions with a learned, contextualized one.
