现有智能体记忆仍以被动检索为主,缺乏自主构建持久认知结构的能力。为实现真正自主的智能体,我们提出CogniFold——一种受大脑启发的「始终在线」记忆系统,适用于下一代主动型助手。CogniFold将碎片化事件流持续折叠为自涌现的认知结构,从输入事件和积累知识中逐步构建更高阶认知。我们基于互补学习系统(CLS)理论,将原有两层(海马体、新皮质)扩展至三层,新增前额叶意图层。通过图拓扑自组织机制,认知结构在事件流中主动形成,语义相似时合并,过期则衰减,通过关联回忆重新连接,当概念簇密度超过阈值时触发意图显现。我们在CogEval-Bench上验证了其生成结构符合认知预期与概念涌现规律;在八个下游任务中——包括两个长时对话记忆评估(LoCoMo, LongMemEval)及其他六个跨认知领域任务——均表现出对传统记忆任务的稳健性能。代码已开源:https://github.com/OpenNorve/CogniFold。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Existing agent memory remains predominantly reactive and retrieval-based, lacking the capacity to autonomously organize experience into persistent cognitive structure. Toward genuinely autonomous agents, we introduce CogniFold, a brain-inspired "always-on" agent memory designed for the next generation of proactive assistants. CogniFold continuously folds fragmented event streams into self-emerging cognitive structures, bootstrapping progressively higher-level cognition from incoming events and accumulated knowledge. We ground this by extending Complementary Learning Systems (CLS) theory from two layers (hippocampus, neocortex) to three, adding a prefrontal intent layer. Emulating the prefrontal cortex as the locus of intentional control and decision-making, CogniFold achieves this through graph-topology self-organization: cognitive structures proactively assemble under the stream, merge when semantically similar, decay when stale, relink through associative recall, and surface intents when concept-cluster density crosses a threshold. We evaluate structural formation using CogEval-Bench, demonstrating that CogniFold uniquely produces memory structures that match cognitive expectations and concept emergence. Furthermore, across eight downstream benchmarks -- two probing long-term conversational memory (LoCoMo, LongMemEval) and six spanning other cognitive domains -- we validate that CogniFold simultaneously performs robustly on conventional memory tasks. Our code is available at https://github.com/OpenNorve/CogniFold.
