  • 用版本链和状态覆盖协议显式追踪事实演变过程
  • 跨会议问答准确率比最强基线提升9.72至10.00个百分点
  • 适合需要追溯历史决策的长期协作场景

在长期协作中,决策、风险等事实状态不断被修订、推翻和替换。现有长上下文方法通常堆叠全部历史,而多数RAG与结构化记忆方法将知识视为静态或仅追加,依赖读取时的语义相关性。缺乏对知识生命周期的显式建模,导致旧新状态并存或历史丢失,造成过时检索与难验证的答案。我们提出EvoWiki,一种面向动态长文本的增量问答架构。EvoWiki将离线增量构建(BUILD)与在线结构化阅读(READ)解耦:BUILD捕捉会议内从提案到决策的微演化,使用实体版本链与细粒度状态覆盖协议,明确区分当前有效状态与被取代的历史,同时保留会议级溯源锚点;READ跳过基于相关性的Top-k检索,执行确定性实体定位、时间分辨率与跨实体多跳聚合,在完整知识库上生成可溯源且可信的答案。我们进一步提出CrossMeet,一个高保真双语基准,模拟长期状态演化,涵盖事实一致性、时间推理与跨会议多跳推理。在六个数据集与两个阅读模型上,EvoWiki相比最强基线,宏平均法官准确率分别提升9.72和10.00个百分点。人工评估显示,当状态频繁变动时,EvoWiki更具鲁棒性与事实忠实性,验证了以有效状态为导向的阅读是应对跨会议知识演化的可靠方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In long-term collaboration spanning multiple meetings, factual states such as decisions and risks are continually revised, overturned, and replaced. Existing long-context methods typically stack the entire history, while many RAG and structured-memory methods organize knowledge as static or append-only facts and rely on semantic relevance at read time. Without explicit modeling of knowledge lifecycles, these approaches may retain conflicting old and new states simultaneously or discard history, leading to stale retrieval and answers that are difficult to verify. We present EvoWiki, an incremental question-answering architecture for dynamic long-form text. EvoWiki decouples offline incremental construction (BUILD) from online structured reading (READ). BUILD captures the intra-meeting micro-evolution from proposal to decision and uses entity version chains and a fine-grained State-Overwrite Protocol to explicitly distinguish current valid states from superseded history while preserving meeting-level provenance anchors. READ bypasses relevance-based Top-k retrieval and performs deterministic entity addressing, temporal resolution, and cross-entity multi-hop aggregation over the complete Wiki to produce grounded and traceable answers. We further introduce CrossMeet, a high-fidelity bilingual benchmark designed to simulate long-term state evolution, covering factual consistency, temporal reasoning, and cross-meeting multi-hop reasoning. Across six datasets and two reader models, EvoWiki improves macro-average Judge Accuracy over the strongest baselines by 9.72 and 10.00 percentage points, respectively. Human evaluation shows that EvoWiki is more robust and factually faithful under frequent state flips, validating valid-state-oriented reading as a reliable approach to cross-meeting knowledge evolution.
