Abstract

Conversational memory retrieval optimizes relevance, yet a retrieved memory can be relevant and simultaneously outdated: a later turn updates, corrects, or supersedes it. ConvMemory v3 adds a validity context layer that detects and surfaces this update evidence through target-conditioned relation verification, sitting after the v1/v2 retrieval path. The core mechanism is a dual-evidence gate that conditions a relation judgment on the specific target proposition, scoring a (target, source) pair through the product of a MiniLM slot head and a DeBERTa-v3 slot head and gating it by conservative event/operation evidence. On a synthetic multi-hop validity benchmark the gate reaches 90.12% +/- 1.73 accuracy; through a real-data feedback loop that mines failure patterns but trains on synthetic pairs only, the verifier transfers to Memora role binding with zero target-side labels, reaching 98.8% +/- 0.9 group-all-correct. The deployed layer preserves retrieval by default: a context mode attaches structured validity metadata while keeping the candidate set and rank order fixed, and a query-conditioned demote mode is an explicit opt-in for dense current-state workloads, where it raises current-active H@1 from a never-demote baseline of 45.1% to 95.7% +/- 1.2 while protecting non-superseded memories at 99.4% recall. Six machine-verifiable safety contracts pin the layer's behavior. Multi-hop graph propagation is validated as a mechanism; fully automatic construction of strict prerequisite edges is characterized as a boundary, since strict necessity requires counterfactual world knowledge. This report extends ConvMemory v1 (arXiv:2605.28062) and v2 (arXiv:2606.10842).

Abstract-only analysis — low confidence

All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.

This page is still relying on abstract and metadata signals, not a fuller protocol read.
