Sparse Modern Hopfield

Sparse Modern Hopfield models are a class of neural networks inspired by associative memory, focusing on efficient and sparse representations for improved memory retrieval and pattern recognition. Current research emphasizes developing generalized sparse architectures, often incorporating techniques like sparse attention mechanisms and Fenchel-Young losses, to achieve sub-quadratic computational complexity while maintaining high memory capacity and accurate retrieval. These models are finding applications in diverse areas such as tabular data processing, time series prediction, and multiple instance learning, offering advantages in both computational efficiency and performance compared to their dense counterparts.
