Mental Model Management: An Operator-Based Framework for LLM Memory
This study addresses the challenge of lacking compact and dynamically evolving conceptual representations in large language models (LLMs) by proposing the 3M framework. This approach models knowledge as compact mental models and introduces innovative operator mechanisms, including chunking, extractive retrieval, consistency verification, and evolution, to enable continuous knowledge integration and dynamic reorganization. The research effectively overcomes memory management bottlenecks in LLMs by achieving dynamic knowledge evolution while maintaining representational compactness. Consequently, this method significantly enhances the model's knowledge reasoning capabilities and establishes a novel paradigm for constructing intelligent systems equipped with adaptive memory.
