Researchers have introduced a new perspective on state tracking within recurrent neural network architectures, emphasizing error control dynamics over theoretical expressive capacity. They demonstrate that affine recurrent networks, including State-Space Models and Linear Attention, struggle with robust state tracking due to their inability to correct errors along state-separating subspaces. This limitation leads to finite horizon solutions governed by accumulated error, with tracking accuracy predictably collapsing as the distinguishability ratio crosses a critical threshold. AI
