Abstract

Memory serves as a pivotal component in interactive response generation, supplying essential background information and referential knowledge for dialogues. Conventional interactive algorithms have predominantly treated memory as a merely contextual element, largely neglecting the nuanced cognitive processes involved in individualized memory encoding and retrieval. This conceptual gap has led to the prevailing schema where memory-enhanced dialogue datasets incorporate monolithic, undifferentiated memory content, failing to capture the personalized nature of persoa memory processing. Grounded in the self-reference effect from cognitive psychology, we introduce a Multi-Turn Dialogue Dataset with Personalized Contextual Memory (D 2 PCM), establishing a comprehensive benchmark to facilitate advanced research on personalized memory processing algorithms.
