Sequence modeling is the process of analyzing or predicting patterns in ordered data, like sentences, clickstreams, or time-series events. It is essential for tasks where the order of information affects the outcome, such as language processing or behavior prediction.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and LSTMs pioneered sequence modeling before transformers.
The transformer architecture, introduced in Attention Is All You Need (2017), redefined sequence modeling.
Mamba and other state-space models like Jamba combine sequence modeling with linear-time efficiency.
