Testbed Memorization Task

  • Given a constant-length sequence of k inputs, recall the

identity of the middle token.

  • Task is inherently non-linguistic, inputs can be arbitrary

sequences.

So, are LSTMs particularly well-suited for language?

Yes, more than uniform data or data with selected linguistic attributes
