14:00 → 15:00 A new wave of foundation models based on xLSTM

xLSTM has emerged as powerful alternative to the Transformer-based architectures, on which most LLMs are built. The linear dependency on context size makes it suitable for many applications which require efficient processing of contextual data. This talk gives an overview of the development of recurrent neural networks, to Transformers, to linearized models, and their applications in application domains and science.

Speaker: Günter Klambauer (JKU Linz)
