C3M: Cross-Session Multimodal Memory Maintenance for Long-Horizon Tasks
TL;DR
C3M is presented, a cross-session multimodal memory organization that maintains a bounded active index over persistent source text-image evidence in a bounded, query-blind memory budget for cross-session long-horizon tasks.
Abstract
Long-horizon tasks require preserving and later recovering cross-session evidence under a bounded, query-blind memory budget. Existing compression can discard fine-grained visual cues or conflate semantically similar but incompatible observations. We present C3M, a cross-session multimodal memory organization that maintains a bounded active index over persistent source text-image evidence. Relation-aware updates consolidate safe redundancy while preserving complementary and incompatible records. At query time, budgeted routing selects useful index pages and expands their associated source evidence under a fixed reader budget. Together, these mechanisms establish a compact, provenance-preserving multimodal memory organization for cross-session long-horizon tasks, retaining temporal distinctions and source links required for reliable downstream reasoning.
