• Authors: Ruifeng Yuan, Shichao Sun, Zili Wang, Ziqiang Cao, Wenjie Li
• Abstract summary: We present an evolving large language model assistant that utilizes verbal long-term memory. The model generates a set of records for each finished dialogue and stores them in the memory. In later usage, given a new user input, the model uses it to retrieve its related memory to improve the quality of the response.

• Abstract: With the rapid development of large language models, AI assistants like ChatGPT have widely entered people's works and lives. In this paper, we present an evolving large language model assistant that utilizes verbal long-term memory. It focuses on preserving the knowledge and experience from the history dialogue between the user and AI assistant, which can be applied to future dialogue for generating a better response. The model generates a set of records for each finished dialogue and stores them in the memory. In later usage, given a new user input, the model uses it to retrieve its related memory to improve the quality of the response. To find the best form of memory, we explore different ways of constructing the memory and propose a new memorizing mechanism called conditional memory to solve the problems in previous methods. We also investigate the retrieval and usage of memory in the generation process. The assistant uses GPT-4 as the backbone and we evaluate it on three constructed test datasets focusing on different abilities required by an AI assistant with long-term memory.

Central to COMEDY is the concept of compressive memory, which intergrates session-specific summaries, user-bot dynamics, and past events into a concise memory format.

  Large-scale pre-trained language models have shown remarkable memorizing ability. Vanilla neural networks without pre-training have been long observed suffering from the catastrophic forgetting problem. We find that 1) Vanilla language models are forgetful; 2) Pre-training leads to retentive language models; 3) Knowledge relevance and diversification significantly influence the memory formation.

Selfmem iteratively employs a retrieval-augmented generator to create an unbounded memory pool and using a memory selector to choose one output as memory for the subsequent generation round. We evaluate the effectiveness of selfmem on three distinct text generation tasks.

LaMemo embraces bi-directional attention and segment recurrence with an additional overhead only linearly proportional to the memory length. Experiments on widely used language modeling benchmarks demonstrate its superiority over the baselines equipped with different types of memory.
