Fam Zheng d923aa1e31 NuoNuo: Hippocampal memory module prototype
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

"""Experiment: LongMemEval benchmark on HippocampalMemory.
Protocol:
1. For each question, load all haystack sessions as conversation history
2. Extract memories from each session turn (user says X, assistant says Y)
3. Store in HippocampalMemory with paraphrase augmentation
4. Query with the question
5. Check if the recalled memories contain the answer
This tests our system against a real, published benchmark.
