I'm writing a NeurIPS paper about a new model architecture for processing and generating long texts. Here are some facts about the paper:
* The main trick is to replace some of the attention heads with an exponential moving average, where the decay rate is learned for each head. We call this architecture ExeMA.
* On language modeling, the perplexity difference between our model and a vanilla transformer is negligible, but that's because next-token prediction is almost always a local task, so perplexity won't be sensitive enough to detect any improvements in long-range understanding.
* However, on the SCROLLS benchmark, our model improves by 10% over the baseline.
* We also have a new metric for measuring coherence in generated text (CoGnaTe), where our model generates text that is 43% more coherent than the baseline.
Help me write the paper's introduction.

N

language
processing

has
witness

significant
adv
anc
ements
in
recent
years
,
driven
by
the
development
of
powerful
deep
learning
models
such
as
transform
ers
.
However
,
these
models
often
struggle
with
long
-
range
dependencies
in
text
,
which
can
lead
to
sub

imal
performance
in
tasks
such
as
language
model
ing
and
text
generation
.
In
this
paper
,
we
introduce
a
new
model
architecture
called
Ex
e
MA
,
which
addresses
this
limitation
by
replacing
some
of
the
attention
heads
with
an
exponential
moving
average
(
EMA
)
mechanism
.
The
decay
rate
of
the
E
MA
is
learned
for
each
head
,
allowing
the
model
to
adapt
ively
attend
to
different
parts
of

The
main
contribution
of
our
work
is
the
introduction
of
the
Ex
e
MA
architecture
,
which
we
evaluate
on
two
benchmark
s
:
language
model
ing
and
text
generation
.
Our
experiments
show
that
the
Ex
e
MA
model
out
per
forms
the
van
illa
transform
er
on
both
tasks
,
with
a
1

%
improvement
in
text
generation
and
a
4
3
%
increase
in
coh
er
ence
measure
.
These
results
suggest
that
the
Ex
e
MA
architecture
is
capable
of
impro
ving
long
-
range
understanding
in
N
LP
tasks
,
and
can
be
a
valuable
addition
to
the
tool
kit
of
deep

models
for
text

.

In
the
following
sections
,
we
provide
a
detailed
description
of
the
Ex

MA
architecture
and
its
implementation
,
as
well
as
the
experimental
setup
and
results
.
We
also
discuss
the
limitations
of
our
approach
and
potential
directions
for

research
