This study explores the capabilities of deep state-space models (Deep SSMs) for in-context learning on autoregressive tasks, showcasing their potential similar to transformers. By incorporating local self-attention in a single structured state-space model layer, the model can mimic an implicit linear model after one step of gradient descent. The diagonal linear recurrent layer acts as […]
