Low

Derived from extracted protocol signals and abstract evidence.

Abstract

Personalized AI assistants must recall and reason over long-term user memory, which naturally spans multiple modalities and sources such as images, videos, and emails. However, existing Long-term Memory benchmarks focus primarily on dialogue history, failing to capture realistic personalized references grounded in lived experience. We introduce ATM-Bench, the first benchmark for multimodal, multi-source personalized referential Memory QA. ATM-Bench contains approximately four years of privacy-preserving personal memory data and human-annotated question-answer pairs with ground-truth memory evidence, including queries that require resolving personal references, multi-evidence reasoning from multi-source and handling conflicting evidence. We propose Schema-Guided Memory (SGM) to structurally represent memory items originated from different sources. In experiments, we implement 5 state-of-the-art memory systems along with a standard RAG baseline and evaluate variants with different memory ingestion, retrieval, and answer generation techniques. We find poor performance (under 20\% accuracy) on the ATM-Bench-Hard set, and that SGM improves performance over Descriptive Memory commonly adopted in prior works.

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 paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.

Should You Rely On This Paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
