The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Our results indicate that a simple convolutional architecture outperforms canonical recurrent networks such as LSTMs across a diverse range of tasks and datasets, while demonstrating longer effective memory.

C2weakest assumption

That the chosen tasks and datasets are representative of general sequence modeling challenges and that the generic convolutional and recurrent architectures are implemented and compared fairly without hidden advantages.

C3one line summary

A simple convolutional network outperforms LSTMs across diverse sequence tasks while showing longer effective memory.
