QUMem: Personalized Memory for Query-Conditioned User-State Inference in LLM Agents

Wang, Heng, Li, Yifei, Zhang, Lingling, Li, Pengyu, Che, Xinyu
TL;DR:QUMem:面向查询条件的用户状态推断的结构化记忆框架——按语义连续性把交互历史切成可变长 episode,再把同一交互里的多条用户信息拆成可独立检索的记忆单元,避免固定窗口/固定 token 边界混淆话题、捆绑功能。

🎯 问题

现有 agent 记忆系统三个局限:固定 turn/token/session 边界会混入无关对话或把事件与起因/决策/结果拆开;把同一交互的多个用户信息绑成一条记忆,功能不同却不可独立检索;当前任务当作单一 top-k 查询,返回的单条相关却无法共同刻画偏好演化、时序有效性、上下文适用性。

🔬 方法

先按语义连续性把交互历史切成可变长 episodes;再把每个 episode 分解为可独立检索的记忆单元;查询条件化的状态推断,跨时间聚合偏好演化与证据冲突。

📊 结果

在用户状态推断与个性化检索任务上优于固定边界/固定查询的基线;处理跨时间冲突偏好与上下文适用性更准确。

💡 与研究方向关联

用户偏好长程建模的结构化记忆——「哪些记忆独立可检索、哪些该合并」的边界决策,正是 agent 长期对话状态维护的核心,与 duplex 会话状态管理互补。

📝 原文摘要

▶ 原文摘要 Abstract
Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferences may be distributed across time, change with context, and conflict with earlier evidence. However, existing systems face three limitations: fixed-turn, fixed-token, or session-based boundaries can mix unrelated dialogue or split an event from its causes, decisions, and outcomes; storing multiple pieces of user information from the same interaction as a single memory binds together items that serve different functions and should be independently retrievable; and treating the current task as a single top-$k$ retrieval query can return fragments that are individually relevant but fail to jointly capture preference evolution, temporal validity, and contextual applicability. We introduce \textsc{QUMem}, a structured memory framework for query-conditioned user-state inference. \textsc{QUMem} first segments interaction histories into variable-length episodes according to semantic continuity, then decomposes each episode into independently retrievable factual, preference, and transferable insight memories while preserving temporal positions and source evidence. At inference time, three sequential agents identify task-specific information needs, plan multi-query retrieval over the typed memory stores, and jointly infer a temporally and contextually valid user state for downstream response generation. \textsc{QUMem} achieves state-of-the-art performance on both PersonaMem and KnowU-Bench, demonstrating the effectiveness of query-conditioned user-state inference for long-term personalization.
