This paper introduces the delayed-recurrent neural network (d-RNN), a single-layer architecture demonstrated to approximate the representational capacity of stacked and bidirectional RNNs. It achieves comparable performance on various sequence tasks while significantly improving computational efficiency and inference runtime.
Key insights
- A weight-constrained, single-layer d-RNN with delay d=k-1 is mathematically equivalent to a k-layer stacked RNN, demonstrating that temporal depth can substitute for architectural depth.
- The d-RNN's inherent delay mechanism provides partial acausal access to future inputs, enabling it to incorporate future context similarly to Bi-RNNs but with more non-linear transformations for closer future inputs.
- d-RNNs offer improved computational efficiency and faster runtimes compared to multi-layer and bidirectional architectures due to their simpler, single-layer structure which avoids synchronization bottlenecks.
