LSREP: A Longitudinal State-Replay Protocol for Evaluating Conversational Memory, with ICE v2 as an Audited Local-First Architecture

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces LSREP, a Longitudinal State‑Replay Evaluation Protocol designed to assess how conversational memory evolves over time, incorporating ordered replay, lifecycle schedules, repeated probes, evolving reference answers, and mechanism‑fidelity checks. It applies LSREP to ICE v2, a local‑first memory middleware, and reports that on three ordinary‑density datasets ICE v2 achieves near‑zero mean quality difference from vector‑RAG while using fewer fragments but slightly more prompt tokens, yet fails catastrophically on a dense dataset. In a public diagnostic, ICE v2 underperforms pure vector‑RAG on LongMemEval, revealing significant multi‑session and temporal failures and a quality‑cost trade‑off rather than superior efficiency.

D$^2$ACCI: A Dual-Loop Diagnostic Protocol for Evidence-Preserving Agent Memory

The paper introduces D$^2$ACCI, a dual-loop diagnostic protocol designed to improve evidence-preserving memory in large language model agents. It provides a structured framework that uses paired evidence, protected-slice monitoring, and trace-level localizability to decide whether to promote, flag, or reject memory interventions. The authors also present DCR, a metric for measuring failure localizability, and D$^2$ACCI‑Eval, a reusable artifact for gate replay, demonstrating significant performance gains on three public benchmarks and highlighting the importance of traceable, statistically grounded diagnostics.

D$^2$ACCI: A Dual-Loop Diagnostic Protocol for Evidence-Preserving Agent Memory

The paper introduces D$^2$ACCI, a dual-loop diagnostic protocol designed to improve evidence-preserving memory in large language model agents. It provides stage-level diagnostic traces, protected-slice monitoring, and a graded observability metric (DCR) to localize failures within the memory pipeline. Applied to MemStack and evaluated on three benchmarks, the protocol achieves high accuracy and demonstrates statistically significant gains from specific memory interventions.

Reconstructing the Right Episode: Evaluating Interleaved Conversational Memory Beyond Long Context

The paper introduces SCALE-QA, a new QA benchmark that tests conversational memory in flat, unsegmented multi‑topic threads by requiring agents to infer which earlier episode supports a later task decision. The dataset contains 3,000 audited questions across ten domains, uses deterministic four‑way multiple‑choice grading, and includes a runtime builder for reproducibility. The authors also propose Temporal‑Semantic Interleaved Memory Reconstruction (TSIM), a hierarchical memory stack that segments turns into coherent episodes and indexes them with deterministic summaries and cluster‑routing views, achieving significant accuracy gains over strong RAG baselines and long‑context LLMs.
