Compressed Memory
Introduced by Jack W. Rae et al. in Compressive Transformers for Long-Range Sequence Modelling
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
Compressed Memory is a secondary FIFO memory component proposed as part of the Compressive Transformer model. The Compressive Transformer keeps a fine-grained memory of past activations, which are then compressed into coarser compressed memories.
For choices of compression functions f_c the authors consider (1) max/mean pooling, where the kernel and stride is set to the compression rate c; (2) 1D convolution also with kernel & stride set to c; (3) dilated convolutions; (4) most-used where the memories are sorted by their average attention (usage) and the most-used are preserved.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
