• Abstract: Modeling long-range dependencies in sequential data is a crucial step in sequence learning. A recently developed model, the Structured State Space (S4), demonstrated significant effectiveness in modeling long-range sequences. However, It is unclear whether the success of S4 can be attributed to its intricate parameterization and HiPPO initialization or simply due to State Space Models (SSMs). To further investigate the potential of the deep SSMs, we start with exponential smoothing (ETS), a simple SSM, and propose a stacked architecture by directly incorporating it into an element-wise MLP. We augment simple ETS with additional parameters and complex field to reduce the inductive bias. Despite increasing less than 1\% of parameters of element-wise MLP, our models achieve comparable results to S4 on the LRA benchmark.

  Structured state space models (SSMs) are linear dynamical systems adhering to a specified structure. In contrast to typical neural network modules, whose parameterizations are real, SSMs often use complex parameterizations. This paper takes a step towards explaining the benefits of complex parameterizations for SSMs by establishing formal gaps between real and complex diagonal SSMs.

  This paper proposes a novel non-recursive non-uniform sample processing strategy to overcome compatibility limitations in parallel convolutional computation. We introduce State Memory Replay (SMR), which utilizes learnable memories to adjust the current state with multi-step information for generalization at sampling points different from those in the training data. Experiments on long-range modeling tasks in autoregressive language modeling and Long Range Arena demonstrate the general effectiveness of the SMR mechanism for a series of SSM models.

  State-space models (SSMs) that utilize linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems are known for their effectiveness in learning long sequences. We develop a new parameterization scheme, called HOPE, for LTI systems that utilize Markov parameters within Hankel operators. Our new parameterization endows the SSM with non-decaying memory within a fixed time window, which is empirically corroborated by a sequential CIFAR-10 task with padded noise.

Experiments show that S4M performs comparably to other separation backbones in terms of SI-SDRi. Our S4M-tiny model (1.8M parameters) even surpasses attention-based Sepformer (26.0M parameters) in noisy conditions with only 9.2 of multiply-accumulate operation (MACs)

  Recently, models using structured state space sequence layers achieved state-of-the-art performance on many long-range tasks. We revisit the idea that closely following the HiPPO framework is necessary for high performance. We replace the bank of many independent single-input, single-output (SISO) SSMs the S4 layer uses with one multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) SSM. S5 matches S4's performance on long-range tasks, including achieving an average of 82.46% on the suite of Long Range Arena benchmarks.
