Beyond Memory Majority: Latent-Source Reasoning for Multi-Agent Memory Arbitration

- 通过依赖推理与来源符号先验联合建模记忆来源,识别独立证据数。
- 在多个基准上显著降低相关记忆导致的虚假多数现象。
- 适合需要高可靠决策的多智能体系统,如协同机器人、分布式AI
长期运行的多智能体系统会持续积累各智能体产生的记忆。现有方法通常将检索到的记忆视为独立证据并采用投票或加权融合。然而在多智能体场景中,这种独立性假设常失效:不同智能体的记忆可能继承相同上游来源或共享偏见,导致相关证据被重复计数,形成虚假多数。我们称此为“记忆相关性偏差”。为此,提出相关性感知记忆仲裁(CAMA)框架,联合解耦检索记忆并恢复缺失的独立证据。将检索记忆建模为查询条件下的证据组,结合神经依赖推理与基于出处的符号先验,估计有效独立证据源数量,防止相关记忆形成虚假多数。由于关键独立证据可能未被初始检索覆盖,CAMA进一步学习一种序列化恢复策略,主动检索替代证据或追溯上游来源再作最终决策,旨在以最小检索成本恢复充分独立证据,确保仲裁可靠性。多基准实验表明,该方法显著优于现有最优基线,有效抑制由相关记忆引发的虚假多数。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Long-term multi-agent systems continuously accumulate the memories produced by different agents. Existing memory methods typically treat retrieved memories as independent evidence and combine them through voting or weighting. However, this independence assumption often fails in multi-agent settings: memories written by different agents may inherit the same upstream source or shared bias, causing correlated evidence to be repeatedly counted and creating a false majority. We term this failure mode \textit{Memory Correlation Bias}. To address the issue, we propose the \textbf{C}orrelation-\textbf{A}ware \textbf{M}emory \textbf{A}rbitration (CAMA) framework that jointly decouples retrieved memories and recovers missing independent evidence. We model the retrieved memories as query-conditioned evidence groups and combine neural dependency inference with provenance-based symbolic priors to estimate the effective number of independent evidence sources, thereby preventing correlated memories from forming a false majority. Since critical independent evidence may be absent from the initial retrieval set, \textsc{CAMA} further learns a sequential recovery policy that actively retrieves alternative evidence or traces upstream sources before making the final decision, aiming to recover sufficient independent evidence for reliable arbitration while minimizing retrieval cost. Experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our method over the state-of-the-art baseline methods, suppressing false majorities induced by correlated memories.
