Agent memory architecture and context management
Memory architecture and context management are fundamental components that enable intelligent agents to maintain coherent interactions and make informed decisions based on past experiences and current context. This section explores the design principles and implementation strategies for creating effective memory systems and managing contextual information in agent-based systems. Agent memory architectures typically incorporate three distinct types of memory, each serving different purposes in the agent’s operation: short-term memory, long-term memory, and episodic memory. Let us discuss these memory architectures in detail.
Short-term memory (working memory)
Short-term memory, also known as working memory, serves as the agent’s immediate cognitive workspace. It temporarily holds and manages information relevant to the current interaction or task being processed. This type of memory is particularly crucial for maintaining...
