Long Input Context

Long input context processing in large language models (LLMs) aims to improve the models' ability to effectively utilize extensive input sequences, overcoming limitations in current architectures that struggle with information located within longer contexts. Research focuses on developing efficient memory management techniques, such as novel caching strategies and compression algorithms, to handle the increased computational demands of longer inputs, and on mitigating positional biases that hinder the retrieval of information from the middle of the input. These advancements are crucial for improving the performance of LLMs on complex tasks requiring extensive contextual understanding and have significant implications for various applications, including question answering, code generation, and multimodal understanding.
