State Space Models

State-Space Models (SSM / Mamba)

conceptPeak: 2024Neural ArchitecturesAI consensus: 1/3

Prerequisites

  • SSMs are an alternative to attention with recurrent state updates — understanding what they replace requires DL fundamentals

  • State-space equations are linear dynamical systems: x' = Ax + Bu — pure linear algebra

Recommended reference

Gu & Dao (2023) 'Mamba: Linear-Time Sequence Modeling with Selective State Spaces' — arXiv:2312.00752; the foundational paper
