When Quantization Breaks Memory: Recurrent-State Write-Back in Low-Precision Temporal Inference

arXiv:2609.04490v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quantization is widely used to reduce the computational and memory demands of neural-network inference. In recurrent networks, however, the quantized state is stored and returned at the next time step, so the rule used to store that state can alter subsequent computations. Here, we introduce recurrent-state write-back to denote this rule and isolate its effect in a compact GRU encoder--decoder for fluorescence lifetime imaging, a molecular imaging modality used in quantitative biological imaging. A central task is estimating two lifetime parameters, the short-lived component {\tau}1 and the long-lived component {\tau}2, from high-noise time-res
