Prony Memory Bank for Linear-Time Sequence Modeling

Replace quadratic self-attention over a sequence with a bank of K auxiliary exponentially decaying states whose rates are fitted directly from the empirical autocorrelation of the sequence features. Each mode captures a distinct time scale, so the module can represent short- and long-range dependencies with O(TK) computation and O(K) recurrent memory rather than storing all previous tokens. Constrain decay rates to be positive and use the paper's extended Markovian block structure to obtain a…
