用连续相位旋转让时间变动态,自动区分持久与变化事实。
Time is Not a Label: Continuous Phase Rotation for Temporal Knowledge Graphs and Agentic Memory
- 通过语义速度门预测关系波动性,实现持续相位旋转。
- 在ICEWS05-15上达72.6 MRR,比现有方法更优。
- 适合长期记忆系统,尤其擅长处理时间推理任务。
结构化记忆表示如知识图谱是自主代理和长期系统的核心。但现有方法将时间视为离散元数据,或按新旧排序(掩盖旧但永久的知识),或简单覆盖过时事实,或每次引入都需昂贵的LLM调用,无法区分持久事实与演变事实。为此,我们提出RoMem,一种可直接集成的时间知识图谱模块,适用于智能体记忆等场景。预训练的语义速度门将每个关系的文本嵌入映射为波动性评分,从数据中学习到演化关系(如“总统”)应快速旋转,而持久关系(如“出生地”)应保持稳定。结合连续相位旋转,实现几何遮蔽:过时事实被旋转出相位,使时间正确的事实自然超越矛盾内容,无需删除。在时间知识图谱补全任务中,RoMem在ICEWS05-15上取得72.6 MRR的顶尖表现。应用于智能体记忆,其在时间推理任务MultiTQ上实现2-3倍的MRR与回答准确率提升,在混合基准LoCoMo上占优,静态记忆零退化(DMR-MSC),并零样本泛化至未见金融领域(FinTMMBench)。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Structured memory representations such as knowledge graphs are central to autonomous agents and other long-lived systems. However, most existing approaches model time as discrete metadata, either sorting by recency (burying old-yet-permanent knowledge), simply overwriting outdated facts, or requiring an expensive LLM call at every ingestion step, leaving them unable to distinguish persistent facts from evolving ones. To address this, we introduce RoMem, a drop-in temporal knowledge graph module for structured memory systems, applicable to agentic memory and beyond. A pretrained Semantic Speed Gate maps each relation's text embedding to a volatility score, learning from data that evolving relations (e.g., "president of") should rotate fast while persistent ones (e.g., "born in") should remain stable. Combined with continuous phase rotation, this enables geometric shadowing: obsolete facts are rotated out of phase in complex vector space, so temporally correct facts naturally outrank contradictions without deletion. On temporal knowledge graph completion, RoMem achieves state-of-the-art results on ICEWS05-15 (72.6 MRR). Applied to agentic memory, it delivers 2-3x MRR and answer accuracy on temporal reasoning (MultiTQ), dominates hybrid benchmark (LoCoMo), preserves static memory with zero degradation (DMR-MSC), and generalises zero-shot to unseen financial domains (FinTMMBench).
