摘要:
尽管多模态大语言模型在短期推理上表现出色,但受限于有限的上下文窗口和静态内存机制,难以处理长视界视频理解。现有方法通常面临两种极端:视觉中心方法通过密集视觉积累导致高延迟和冗余,文本中心方法则因激进的标题生成而损失细节和幻觉。为此,本文提出MM-Mem,基于模糊痕迹理论,将记忆分层为感觉缓冲区、事件流和符号模式,逐步将细粒度感知痕迹(逐字)压缩为高层语义模式(概要)。此外,为指导内存的动态构建,推导出语义信息瓶颈目标,并引入SIB-GRPO优化内存压缩与任务相关信息保留的平衡。在推理中,设计了基于熵驱动的自顶向下的内存检索策略。在四个基准测试中,MM-Mem在离线和流式任务中均取得最佳性能,证明了认知启发式记忆组织的有效性。代码和相关配置可在https://github.com/EliSpectre/MM-Mem公开获取。
英文摘要:
While multimodal large language models have demonstrated impressive short-term reasoning, they struggle with long-horizon video understanding due to limited context windows and static memory mechanisms that fail to mirror human cognitive efficiency. Existing paradigms typically fall into two extremes: vision-centric methods that incur high latency and redundancy through dense visual accumulation, or text-centric approaches that suffer from detail loss and hallucination via aggressive captioning. To bridge this gap, we propose MM-Mem, a pyramidal multimodal memory architecture grounded in Fuzzy-Trace Theory. MM-Mem structures memory hierarchically into a Sensory Buffer, Episodic Stream, and Symbolic Schema, enabling the progressive distillation of fine-grained perceptual traces (verbatim) into high-level semantic schemas (gist). Furthermore, to govern the dynamic construction of memory, we derive a Semantic Information Bottleneck objective and introduce SIB-GRPO to optimize the trade-off between memory compression and task-relevant information retention. In inference, we design an entropy-driven top-down memory retrieval strategy. Extensive experiments across 4 benchmarks confirm that MM-Mem achieves state-of-the-art performance on both offline and streaming tasks, demonstrating robust generalization and validating the effectiveness of cognition-inspired memory organization.
