I don’t know why the paper is called that way. … I think they don’t mention why the hippo is hungry. Or why it’s a hippo.
It’s a kids’ game.
Yep.
Specifically, it’s named for the papers HiPPO: Recurrent Memory with Optimal Polynomial Projections and How to Train Your HiPPO: State Space Models with Generalized Orthogonal Basis Projections, which kicked off the whole transformers for state-space modelling thing
“HiPPO” abbreviates higher-order polynomial projection operators.
