本综述系统比较了液态神经网络（LNN）与传统循环神经网络（RNN）及其变体（如LSTM、GRU）在模型精度、内存效率和泛化能力三个维度的表现。研究分析了这些架构处理序列数据的基本原理、数学模型、关键特性及内在挑战。结果表明，作为新兴的生物启发连续时间动态网络，LNN在处理噪声大、非平稳数据方面具有显著潜力，并能实现分布外（OOD）泛化。部分LNN变体在参数效率和计算速度上优于传统RNN。然而，由于成熟的生态体系和广泛的应用基础，RNN仍是序列建模的基石。本文总结了两类网络的异同、各自局限，并指出未来研究方向，尤其强调提升LNN可扩展性以推动其在更复杂场景中的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This review aims to conduct a comparative analysis of liquid neural networks (LNNs) and traditional recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and their variants, such as long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) and gated recurrent units (GRUs). The core dimensions of the analysis include model accuracy, memory efficiency, and generalization ability. By systematically reviewing existing research, this paper explores the basic principles, mathematical models, key characteristics, and inherent challenges of these neural network architectures in processing sequential data. Research findings reveal that LNN, as an emerging, biologically inspired, continuous-time dynamic neural network, demonstrates significant potential in handling noisy, non-stationary data, and achieving out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization. Additionally, some LNN variants outperform traditional RNN in terms of parameter efficiency and computational speed. However, RNN remains a cornerstone in sequence modeling due to its mature ecosystem and successful applications across various tasks. This review identifies the commonalities and differences between LNNs and RNNs, summarizes their respective shortcomings and challenges, and points out valuable directions for future research, particularly emphasizing the importance of improving the scalability of LNNs to promote their application in broader and more complex scenarios.
