Hopfield + Hebbian hybrid memory system for LLMs. Two nights of experiments (16 iterations), validated on LongMemEval (ICLR 2025). Architecture: - Single-hop: Two-Stage Hopfield (NN top-20 → softmax settle) - Multi-hop: Hebbian W matrix with WTA pattern separation - 64% on LongMemEval (500 questions), retrieval-only, no LLM dependency - 4ms latency @ 20K memories, ~1GB VRAM Key findings: - Hopfield attention solved noise tolerance (20% → 100% vs flat Hebbian) - WTA pattern separation enables 20K+ capacity - Multi-hop associative chains (6 hops, CosSim=1.0) — RAG can't do this - MiniLM-L6 is optimal (discrimination gap > absolute similarity) - Paraphrase cue augmentation: 55% → 100% on synthetic, 36% → 64% on benchmark - SNN encoder viable (CosSim 0.99) but not needed for current architecture

# NuoNuo: Hippocampal Memory Module — Architecture v2
|
||
|
||
## 项目目标
|
||
|
||
为 LLM（如 Gemma 4）添加一个类海马体的长期记忆模块：
|
||
- 不使用传统 RAG（向量数据库 + 检索）
|
||
- 记忆存储在网络权重（Hebbian）和显式模式（Hopfield）中
|
||
- 支持 paraphrase 容忍的模糊检索
|
||
- 支持多跳联想推理（A→B→C，RAG 做不到）
|
||
- 每晚可整合/遗忘
|
||
|
||

## 与 Gemma 集成
|
||
|
||
推荐方案：**Context Injection**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
# 1. User input → embed
|
||
query_emb = encoder.encode(user_input)
|
||
|
||
# 2. Recall memories
|
||
results = memory.recall(query_emb, top_k=3)
|
||
chain = memory.recall_chain(query_emb, hops=2)
|
||
|
||
# 3. Format and inject
|
||
context = format_memories(results + chain)
|
||
prompt = f"[Recalled memories]\n{context}\n\n[User]\n{user_input}"
|
||
|
||
# 4. Generate response
|
||
response = gemma.generate(prompt)
|
||
|
||
# 5. Store new memory (with LLM-generated paraphrases)
|
||
paraphrases = gemma.generate(f"Generate 3 paraphrases of: {user_input}")
|
||
memory.store(query_emb, response_emb,
|
||
cue_variants=[encoder.encode(p) for p in paraphrases])
|
||
```
