Kalman Linear Attention (KLA): Reproduction & Verification Suite
Paper: Kalman Linear Attention: Parallel Bayesian Filtering For Efficient Language Modeling and State Tracking
OpenReview: 9h7sSJe4jN | arXiv: 2602.10743
This script rigorously verifies all 6 major claims of the paper:
- Claim 1: Theorem 1 precision updates follow Möbius transformations computable in parallel scan with O(log T) depth & O(T) work.
- Claim 2: Theorem 2 mean updates form affine transformations computable via parallel prefix scan (O(T) train, O(1) inference).
- Claim 3: MAD Synthetic benchmarks (Compression & Selective Copy performance comparisons across KLA, Mamba, GLA, GDN).
- Claim 4: MQAR long-context benchmark at d=256, T=2048, V=256 (KLA >95% accuracy vs GLA failure).
- Claim 5: A5 permutation-composition state-tracking task (KLA solves with 1-2 layers vs linear SSM/Transformer failure).
- Claim 6: Fixed decay parameters combined with learned process noise for per-channel specialization.
