Memory Based Transformer

Memory-based transformers enhance traditional transformer architectures by incorporating memory mechanisms to handle long sequences or continual learning challenges, addressing limitations in context window size and catastrophic forgetting. Current research focuses on developing efficient memory management strategies, including techniques like incremental optimization, memory eviction policies, and generative memory modules, often within the context of specific applications such as anomaly detection, long-context language modeling, and information retrieval. These advancements improve the efficiency and performance of transformers across diverse domains, impacting areas like time series analysis, natural language processing, and efficient hardware acceleration.
