Gated Slot Attention-2: Two-Sided Associative Memory Correction in Linear Attention

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.02816v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear attention models have emerged as efficient alternatives to standard attention, but effectively managing their fixed-size recurrent memory remains challenging. To improve memory, recent work has explored two distinct directions: delta-rule variants for precise correction of values associated with keys, and slot-based architectures such as Gated Slot Attention for modeling key and value memories in two stages. We observe that these directions are complementary--the delta rule provides effective memory correction, while the two-stage structure provides a natural way to operate on both sides of an association. Building on this insight, we introduce a new Gated Oja Rule for key-side correction and extend it with decoupled erase and write co
