The paper proposes Hyena, a new architecture for language models that uses hierarchical convolutional layers to process input sequences of variable lengths. The authors show that Hyena outperforms previous state-of-the-art models on several benchmarks and achieves competitive results on the WikiText-103 dataset. They also demonstrate that Hyena can be trained with significantly fewer parameters while still achieving strong performance. Additionally, they introduce the Hyena hierarchy, an operator defined by a recurrence of two ecient subquadratic primitives: a long convolution and element-wise multiplicative gating (see Figure 1.1). A specified depth (i.e., number of steps) of the recurrence controls the size of the operator. By mapping each step in the Hyena recurrence to its corresponding matrix form, they reveal Hyena operators to be equivalently defined as a decomposition of a data-controlled matrix i.e., a matrix whose entries are functions of the input. Furthermore, they show how Hyena operators can be evaluated efficiently without materializing the full matrix, by leveraging fast convolution algorithms (Selesnick and Burr

The authors also introduce a new benchmark for evaluating language models on text summarization tasks, which is based on the ROUGE metric and includes a diverse set of languages and domains. They demonstrate that Hyena outperforms previous state-of-the-art models on this benchmark, achieving competitive results even with fewer parameters. Finally, they provide an analysis of the learned representations in Hyena, showing that it captures both local and global contextual information in the input sequence.
