6.1
Kazuki Irie and co-authors publish an arXiv primer (v5, 18 March 2026) reviewing Fast Weight Programmers, a class of recurrent neural networks that use two‑dimensional matrix-form hidden states as dynamic, short-term memory. The paper details technical foundations, computational properties, and links to transformers and state-space models, and discusses parallels with biological synaptic plasticity, suggesting broader implications for converging natural and artificial intelligence.
