This article introduces Delta-Delta Learning (DDL), which enhances standard residual networks by applying a rank-1 transformation to the hidden state matrix. The Delta-Res block update combines the removal of old information with the addition of new data, controlled by a gate. Key components include a reflection direction, a value vector, and a gate parameter.

Standard residual networks approximate ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through an additive update mechanism. Specifically, the update rule takes the form \(\Xb_{l+1} = \Xb_l + \Fb(\Xb_l)\). In contrast, Delta-Delta Learning (DDL) introduces a more sophisticated approach by applying a rank-1 transformation to the hidden state matrix, \(\Xb\). This transformation leads to the Delta-Res block update rule, which is defined mathematically as:
$$ \Xb_{l+1} = \underbrace{(\Ib - \beta_l \kb_l \kb_l^\top)}_{\text{Delta Operator } \Ab(\Xb)} \Xb_l + \beta_l \kb_l \vb_l^\top $$
In this setup, \(\kb\) represents a reflection direction in \(\mathbb{R}^d\), \(\vb\) is a value vector in \(\mathbb{R}^{d_v}\), and \(\beta\) acts as a gate. The update mechanism effectively combines two processes: it projects old information onto the direction of \(\kb\) for erasure, while simultaneously injecting new information represented by \(\vb\). The scaling of this process is controlled synchronously through the gate \(\beta\).
This design allows networks to adaptively manage information flow, making it possible to erase outdated data and incorporate new insights dynamically. The interplay between the erasure and writing processes is a novel aspect of DDL, enhancing how information is processed in deep learning architectures. This approach could lead to more efficient training and improved performance across various tasks in machine learning.
