chrmanning · x · 2026-08-24

The paper "Pretraining Recurrent Networks without Recurrence" proposes a method to bypass traditional RNN training issues by using a Transformer teacher to learn good predictive state representations and supervising the learning of a memory transition function. This is part of the recent revival of recurrent neural network research.
