边云协同的个性化记忆管理,保护隐私又不丢关键信息。
MemPrivacy: Privacy-Preserving Personalized Memory Management for Edge-Cloud Agents

- 在边缘设备识别敏感内容,用语义占位符替代后上传云端处理。
- 隐私提取准确率远超GPT-5.2和Gemini-3.1-Pro,性能损失低于1.6%。
- 支持可配置隐私策略,适合注重用户隐私的智能代理系统。
随着大模型驱动的智能体在边云环境中日益普及,个性化记忆成为实现长期适应与以用户为中心交互的关键。然而,云端辅助的记忆管理会暴露敏感用户信息,而现有隐私保护方法通常依赖激进的屏蔽策略,导致任务相关语义丢失,降低记忆效用与个性化质量。为此,我们提出MemPrivacy:在边缘设备识别隐私敏感片段,将其替换为语义结构化、类型感知的占位符上传云端处理,并在需要时本地还原原始值。通过将隐私保护与语义破坏解耦,MemPrivacy在最小化敏感数据暴露的同时保留有效记忆构建与检索所需信息。我们还构建了MemPrivacy-Bench用于系统评估,包含200名用户的超15.5万条隐私实例,并提出四级隐私分类体系支持可配置保护策略。实验表明,MemPrivacy在隐私信息提取上表现优异,显著超越GPT-5.2和Gemini-3.1-Pro等强通用模型,同时降低推理延迟。在多个主流记忆系统中,其效用损失控制在1.6%以内,优于基线屏蔽策略。总体而言,MemPrivacy为边云智能体提供了隐私保护与个性化记忆效用之间的有效平衡,支持安全、实用且用户透明的部署。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As LLM-powered agents are increasingly deployed in edge-cloud environments, personalized memory has become a key enabler of long-term adaptation and user-centric interaction. However, cloud-assisted memory management exposes sensitive user information, while existing privacy protection methods typically rely on aggressive masking that removes task-relevant semantics and consequently degrades memory utility and personalization quality. To address this challenge, We propose MemPrivacy, which identifies privacy-sensitive spans on edge devices, replaces them with semantically structured type-aware placeholders for cloud-side memory processing, and restores the original values locally when needed. By decoupling privacy protection from semantic destruction, MemPrivacy minimizes sensitive data exposure while retaining the information required for effective memory formation and retrieval. We also construct MemPrivacy-Bench for systematic evaluation, a dataset covering 200 users and over 155k privacy instances, and introduce a four-level privacy taxonomy for configurable protection policies. Experiments show that MemPrivacy achieves strong performance in privacy information extraction, substantially surpassing strong general-purpose models such as GPT-5.2 and Gemini-3.1-Pro, while also reducing inference latency. Across multiple widely used memory systems, MemPrivacy limits utility loss to within 1.6%, outperforming baseline masking strategies. Overall, MemPrivacy offers an effective balance between privacy protection and personalized memory utility for edge-cloud agents, enabling secure, practical, and user-transparent deployment.
