TPBench: A Turning-Point Benchmark for Dialogue Compression

Read the original on arXiv AI →

TPBench is a benchmark for dialogue compression that focuses on turning-point eviction, where a user’s change in intent or constraints is lost during compression. It evaluates three information targets—initial user goal, current slot value after revision, and both together—using existing dialogue-state annotations from MultiWOZ and SGD, without requiring new crowdsourcing. The benchmark shows that different compression methods rank differently across probes, and that deleting the turn containing a user update significantly harms current-value accuracy, while removing irrelevant turns does not.

The Sleeping Agent: What Gist-Based Context Compression Loses and Why

Gist-based context compression---summarising older conversation history into compact representations---is a common approach in long-horizon language model agents, yet its effect on different types of memory retrieval is poorly understood. We use Salience-Weighted Consolidation (SWC), a biologically-inspired compression framework motivated by sleep-based memory consolidation, as a diagnostic probe to study when gist compression helps and when it hurts.
