Convolutions for Sequence Modeling

Convolutions for Sequence Modeling

This repository provides implementations and experiments for the following papers, as well as simplified presentations of earlier work such as S4.

Please see these instructions for how to download weights and run our pretrained models:

• H3 (125m-2.7B)
• Hyena (small, 150M)

Roadmap

• Include H3, LLM training, and synthetics in this repository
• Move in fast convolution code
• Add Hyena implementation and experiments
• pip package

Setup

Requirements

This repository requires Python 3.8+ and Pytorch 1.10+. Other packages are listed in requirements.txt.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started is to run the standalone_cifar.py script. This scripts trains a simple long convolution model on CIFAR-10:

python -m standalone_cifar

See the experiments page for more:

• LRA experiments from the Long Convs paper
• H3 experiments (language model, synthetics)
• H3 + Long Conv experiments
• Hyena language and vision experiments
