AI memory system uses biological decay to improve recall

ai-technology · 2026-04-27

The innovative AI memory system, YourMemory, leverages the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve to function as a dynamic context substrate, attaining a Recall@5 rate of 52% on the LoCoMo dataset. Each memory is given a strength score, where recall enhances data and reduces decay curves, while unused information is eliminated. To address the logical neighbor issue, a graph layer is implemented over the vector store, resulting in an approximate 84% reduction in token waste. Designed as a local-first MCP server utilizing DuckDB, this system is aimed at supporting long-duration agent projects.
