| Challenge: | Long contexts break transformers, attention scores dilute, model cannot adapt to novel patterns at inference time. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that gates the memory consolidation process by estimating Contextual Utility . they propose GDWM to maintain a form of working memory with constant contexts . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves comparable or superior performance on sparse-information tasks with 4 fewer gradient steps compared to uniform baselines. |
