Selective State-Space Adaptation and Retrieval for Language Model Reasoning
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers propose MaLoRA and MaRA adapters that use state-space recurrence to improve language model reasoning, achieving up to 18.2% relative gains over standard LoRA on multi-hop reasoning tasks.
- Why it matters
- Engineers fine-tuning frozen language models for reasoning tasks should consider this when standard low-rank adaptation leaves accuracy gaps on complex question-answering benchmarks.
- Watch out
- Paper is recent preprint with no reported code availability yet; gains tested only on three specific models and two reasoning benchmarks, generalization unclear.
