1// Memory-Augmented Neural Turing Machine (NTM) optimizer.
2//
3// Implements an NTM-style optimizer inspired by Graves et al. (2014),
4// "Neural Turing Machines" (arXiv:1410.5401). The optimizer maintains an
5// external memory matrix `M ∈ R^{N × W}` (where `N = memory_slots` and
6// `W = memory_width`) which it reads from and writes to on every step
7// using content-based addressing (cosine similarity attention) and a
8// classic NTM-style erase+add write head.
9//
10// Unlike a "learned optimizer" (e.g. an LSTM that emits parameter updates),
11// this NTM optimizer uses a fixed-function attention mechanism over a
12// memory matrix that is updated by the optimizer itself. The memory acts
13// as a slow-changing summary of recent gradient/update signals, and the
14// read vector is mixed with the raw gradient to produce the final update.
15//
16// Algorithm (single read/write head, one step):
17//
18//   1. Build query key `k ∈ R^W` from the gradient via mean-pool + Z-norm.
19//   2. Content addressing: for each row `m_i`, compute the cosine similarity
20//      `c_i = (k · m_i) / (||k|| · ||m_i|| + ε)`. Apply a sharpened softmax
21//      with sharpness `β` to obtain `w_c ∈ Δ^{N-1}`.
22//   3. Final read weights `w_r` depend on the addressing mode:
23//        * `Content`  : `w_r = w_c`
24//        * `Location` : `w_r = shift(w_{r,prev}, +1)` (circular shift by +1)
25//        * `Hybrid`   : `w_r ∝ ( 0.5 w_c + 0.5 shift(w_{r,prev}, +1) )^β`
26//          (sharpen by power `β`, then renormalize)
27//   4. Read vector: `r = w_r^T M`, shape `[W]`.
28//   5. Write weights `w_w = w_r` (one-head model).
29//   6. Erase + add (Graves §3.2):
30//        `e = erase_gate * k`
31//        `M[i] ← M[i] ∘ (1 − w_w[i] · e) + w_w[i] · k`
32//   7. Final update is a weighted combination of the gradient and the
33//      tiled read vector (the latter broadcast over the parameter shape
34//      via cyclic tiling). Apply with the configured learning rate.
35//
36// All numeric primitives come from `scirs2_core::numeric::Float`, all array
37// types from `scirs2_core::ndarray`, and the RNG from `scirs2_core::random`,
38// per the project's "no direct ndarray/rand" policy.
