From 4de8a32ce371b2c6e5830682a8d5f88ec2adebf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tate Berenbaum Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 09:22:54 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] feat: temporal fallback retrieval + autoresearch benchmark framework MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Temporal fallback in engine.search(): when a temporal time-range filter returns too few results (<50% of top_k), retries without the filter and merges results. Fixes aggressive temporal filtering that was causing zero recall on temporal-reasoning questions in LongMemEval. Adds autoresearch framework (tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/) inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch pattern — iterative experiment loop for optimizing LongMemEval benchmark scores. 13 experiments run, improving answer accuracy from 51% to 61% on longmemeval_s (100-question balanced sample). Key findings from optimization: - top_k=150 + temporal fallback: +4.7% session recall - 40 context chunks to LLM: +3% accuracy - gpt-4o answer model: +6% accuracy - Reranking, hybrid pipeline, query expansion, embedding model changes all failed to improve overall accuracy Updates README benchmarks section with answer accuracy results alongside existing session recall numbers. --- README.md | 34 +- crates/uc-core/src/lib.rs | 32 +- tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/.gitignore | 2 + tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/experiment.py | 36 + tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/prepare.py | 694 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/program.md | 104 +++ tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/results.tsv | 15 + 7 files changed, 905 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/.gitignore create mode 100644 tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/experiment.py create mode 100644 tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/prepare.py create mode 100644 tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/program.md create mode 100644 tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/results.tsv diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index cbcb85f..ff51ba3 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -272,9 +272,21 @@ All encrypted batches are fetched from the permanent storage network and re-inde ### LongMemEval (ICLR 2025) -Evaluated on [LongMemEval](https://github.com/xiaowu0162/LongMemEval), a benchmark for long-term memory in chat assistants. 500 curated questions across multi-session conversation histories. +Evaluated on [LongMemEval](https://github.com/xiaowu0162/LongMemEval), a benchmark for long-term memory in chat assistants.

Exp 28 showed temporal reasoning improved from 50% to 61.5% in one run, though variance is high across runs. BM25 keyword index (tantivy): infrastructure for parallel keyword search alongside vector search. Index is populated at ingest time. Search integration built but disabled — experiments showed BM25 results dilute vector search quality at current tuning. Infrastructure ready for future refinement. Round-level chunking: chunk_conversation_rounds() pairs user+assistant turns into single chunks. Not yet wired into the store API but available for future experiments. 30 experiments total. Best overall: 63% (Exp 23, temporal fallback only). Date enrichment adds +0.4% session recall. BM25, session expansion, query decomposition, fact search, context enrichment all hurt accuracy. --- Cargo.lock | 1 + crates/uc-core/Cargo.toml | 3 + crates/uc-core/src/chunker.rs | 53 ++++++ crates/uc-core/src/keyword_index.rs | 190 +++++++++++++++++++ crates/uc-core/src/lib.rs | 62 +++++- tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/experiment.py | 2 +- tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/prepare.py | 154 +++++++++++++-- tests/longmemeval/autoresearch/results.tsv | 9 + 8 files changed, 455 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) create mode 100644 crates/uc-core/src/keyword_index.rs diff --git a/Cargo.lock b/Cargo.lock index 1fce915..ad5e65b 100644 --- a/Cargo.lock +++ b/Cargo.lock @@ -8850,6 +8850,7 @@ dependencies = [ "serde", "serde_json", "sha2", + "tantivy", "tempfile", "thiserror 2.0.18", "tokio", diff --git a/crates/uc-core/Cargo.toml b/crates/uc-core/Cargo.toml index c7677ad..e6ff5bc 100644 --- a/crates/uc-core/Cargo.toml +++ b/crates/uc-core/Cargo.toml @@ -34,6 +34,9 @@ argon2 = { workspace = true } rand = { workspace = true } base64 = { workspace = true } +# BM25 keyword search +tantivy = "0.22" + # Key store rusqlite = { workspace = true } hex = { workspace = true } diff --git a/crates/uc-core/src/chunker.rs b/crates/uc-core/src/chunker.rs index e9a99df..36bebad 100644 --- a/crates/uc-core/src/chunker.rs +++ b/crates/uc-core/src/chunker.rs @@ -97,6 +97,59 @@ pub fn chunk_conversation( chunks } +/// Split a multi-turn conversation into round-level chunks. +/// Each user+assistant pair becomes a single chunk, preserving the Q&A context. +/// This improves embedding quality because the assistant's answer is embedded +/// alongside the question it answers (LongMemEval paper's #1 recommendation). +pub fn chunk_conversation_rounds( + turns: &[(Role, &str)], + session_id: &str, + config: &ChunkerConfig, + base_timestamp: i64, +) -> Vec { + let mut chunks = Vec::new(); + let mut ts = base_timestamp; + let mut i = 0; + + while i < turns.len() { + let (role, content) = &turns[i]; + + // Try to pair user+assistant as a round + if *role == Role::User && i + 1 < turns.len() && turns[i + 1].0 == Role::Assistant { + let round_text = format!( + "User: {}\nAssistant: {}", + content, turns[i + 1].1 + ); + let round_chunks = chunk_text( + &round_text, + session_id, + ChunkType::Conversation, + Some(Role::User), // Tag as user since the question drives retrieval + config, + ts, + ); + ts += round_chunks.len() as i64; + chunks.extend(round_chunks); + i += 2; // Skip both turns + } else { + // Unpaired turn (e.g., system message, or trailing user turn) + let turn_chunks = chunk_text( + content, + session_id, + ChunkType::Conversation, + Some(*role), + config, + ts, + ); + ts += turn_chunks.len() as i64; + chunks.extend(turn_chunks); + i += 1; + } + } + + chunks +} + fn make_chunk( text: &str, session_id: &str, diff --git a/crates/uc-core/src/keyword_index.rs b/crates/uc-core/src/keyword_index.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..25a16d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/uc-core/src/keyword_index.rs @@ -0,0 +1,190 @@ +//!

Statement form matches stored conversation text better than question form. BM25 entity search: extracts proper nouns and quoted strings from queries, searches tantivy with phrase matching. Results supplement vector search with low scores to avoid diluting primary results. Index compaction now runs every 10 inserts (was 100) to prevent the 100GB+ index bloat seen in earlier experiments.

Assembler now sorts sessions chronologically (by first turn timestamp) instead of by session ID string. This helps the LLM reason about temporal ordering across sessions. Removed LLM memory extraction (caused 184-247GB index bloat). Removed statement-form re-query (added 300ms latency, broke 500ms constraint). Removed BM25 entity search from retrieval path (uncertain benefit). Infrastructure kept for future use.
