Gated Memory: Admission-Controlled Memory Formation for Conversational AI

Quick summary

arXiv:2610.11270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Personalized conversational AI relies on long-term memory systems that extract facts from user utterances and store them in persistent vector stores. Despite progress in retrieval, deduplication, and lifecycle management, the formation stage, the moment a fact is first written to storage has received almost no principled attention. We identify this as the binding constraint on memory quality in production systems. Critical contextual signals, such as the distinction between a permanent user attribute and a transient situation, exist only in the
