Memory ideas

Response-Sufficient Neural Memory

Replace correlation-based memory pruning in an RNN or state-space model by measuring how hidden-state history changes the response to individual past input events. Train a compressed memory coordinate only if it preserves the event-consequence kernel for the target observable, such as future loss, prediction, or control return. A memory representation is accepted when the conditional variance of this kernel within compressed-state groups is small, even if dwell-time or autocorrelation…
