Architectural Effects on Maximum Dependency Lengths of Recurrent Neural Networks

This technical note presents a methodology for assessing the maximum dependency length of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and examines how architectural modifications impact these lengths. The authors, Jonathan S. Kent and Michael M. Murray, focus on traditional RNNs, gated recurrent units (GRUs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. The study investigates the influence of various architectural factors, such as the number of layers and the neuron count within those layers, on the maximum dependency lengths achievable by these models. The findings aim to enhance the understanding of RNN architectures and their performance in handling dependencies in sequential data.

Anyone know any research combining RNN like architecture to transformers? It’d be neat if a layer of a transformer could decide to loop its output vector to a previous layer n number of times to allow it to “think harder”. The implementation would be tricky to get right though.
