让聊天机器人学会按时间推理长期对话记忆,准确率超现有系统7.67%。

Chronos: Temporal-Aware Conversational Agents with Structured Event Retrieval for Long-Term Memory

  • 将对话拆解为带时间范围的事件三元组,构建结构化日历索引。
  • 动态提示生成检索策略,支持跨时间多跳查询,准确率达95.60%。
  • 适合需要长期记忆与时间敏感推理的智能助手场景。

大型语言模型的进步使聊天机器人能持续数周甚至数月的多轮对话。然而,现有记忆系统难以处理随时间演变的时序事实与偏好,且缺乏对长对话历史中多跳、时间敏感查询的有效检索策略。我们提出Chronos,一种新型时序感知记忆框架,将原始对话分解为带时间范围和实体别名的主谓宾事件三元组,以结构化事件日历和保留完整对话上下文的回合日历进行索引。查询时,Chronos通过动态提示生成定制化检索引导,指导代理确定检索内容、按时间范围过滤,并通过在两个日历间的迭代工具调用循环完成多跳推理。我们在包含500个问题的LongMemEvalS基准上,使用8个开源与闭源大模型评估,Chronos Low达到92.60%准确率,Chronos High达95.60%,较最优前序系统提升7.67%。消融实验表明,事件日历贡献了58.9%的性能提升,其余组件均带来15.5%至22.3%的增益。值得注意的是,Chronos Low已超越此前在最强模型配置下评估的方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled conversational AI agents to engage in extended multi-turn interactions spanning weeks or months. However, existing memory systems struggle to reason over temporally grounded facts and preferences that evolve across months of interaction and lack effective retrieval strategies for multi-hop, time-sensitive queries over long dialogue histories. We introduce Chronos, a novel temporal-aware memory framework that decomposes raw dialogue into subject-verb-object event tuples with resolved datetime ranges and entity aliases, indexing them in a structured event calendar alongside a turn calendar that preserves full conversational context. At query time, Chronos applies dynamic prompting to generate tailored retrieval guidance for each question, directing the agent on what to retrieve, how to filter across time ranges, and how to approach multi-hop reasoning through an iterative tool-calling loop over both calendars. We evaluate Chronos with 8 LLMs, both open-source and closed-source, on the LongMemEvalS benchmark comprising 500 questions spanning six categories of dialogue history tasks. Chronos Low achieves 92.60% and Chronos High scores 95.60% accuracy, setting a new state of the art with an improvement of 7.67% over the best prior system. Ablation results reveal the events calendar accounts for a 58.9% gain on the baseline while all other components yield improvements between 15.5% and 22.3%. Notably, Chronos Low alone surpasses prior approaches evaluated under their strongest model configurations.
