Mela: Test-Time Memory Consolidation based on Transformation Hypothesis
Memory consolidation, the process by which transient experiences are transformed into stable, structured representations, is a foundational organizing principle in the human brain, yet it remains largely unexplored as a design principle for modern sequence models. In this work, we leverage established neuroscientific theories of memory consolidation and cross-frequency coupling to propose the Hierarchical Memory Module (HMM), a neural memory architecture composed of two functionally distinct sub-modules that operate at different update frequencies. Inspired by the transformation hypothesis, the low-frequency sub-module produces high-level representations that capture abstract, gist-level ...
