Title: TIDES: Implicit Time-Awareness in Selective State Space Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09742v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Selective state space models (SSMs), such as Mamba, achieve strong per-token expressivity by making the time discretization step $\Tilde{\Delta}$ a learned function of the input. However, in doing so, $\Tilde{\Delta}$ ceases to represent a physical sampling interval, limiting its irregular time series modeling capability. Continuous-time SSMs, such as S5, preserve the physical meaning of $\Tilde{\Delta}$ and handle irregular timestamps natively (
