• Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) with memory are computationally universal. However, mainstream LLMs are not taking full advantage of memory, and the designs are heavily influenced by biological brains. Due to their approximate nature and proneness to the accumulation of errors, conventional neural memory mechanisms cannot support LLMs to simulate complex reasoning. In this paper, we seek inspiration from modern computer architectures to augment LLMs with symbolic memory for complex multi-hop reasoning. Such a symbolic memory framework is instantiated as an LLM and a set of SQL databases, where the LLM generates SQL instructions to manipulate the SQL databases. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed memory framework on a synthetic dataset requiring complex reasoning. The project website is available at https://chatdatabase.github.io/ .

  Large language models (LLMs) excel in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. They can only incorporate new knowledge through training or supervised fine-tuning processes. This precise, up-to-date, and private information is typically stored in relational databases.

  We equip large language models (LLMs) with explicit memory, a memory format cheaper than model parameters and text retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) As a preliminary proof of concept, we train from scratch a 2.4B LLM, which achieves better performance than much larger LLMs and RAG models. We introduce a memory circuitry theory to support the externalization of knowledge, and present novel techniques including a memory sparsification mechanism that makes storage tractable.
