Recurrent Memory Transformer

Paper summary

Recurrent Memory Transformer adds memory tokens passed between sequence segments. Training teaches these tokens to carry compact information, allowing segment recurrence without redesigning the core Transformer.

Relevance to the project

A comparison for explicit bounded history versus compressed persistent state. Test what information survives beyond the accessible history window.

Language modelsTransformer architectureMemoryLong-context processing

Compact memory can lose information; a memory token is not unlimited storage.
