UnverifiedWhen semantically similar but inaccurate content is retrieved, the model may output incorrect recollections with high confidence, with no warning mechanism at the system level — this is the false memory problem.75% similarUnverifiedThis phenomenon is referred to as hallucinated citations or parametric knowledge leakage.73% similarUnverifiedIncorrect memory retrieval can be worse than having no memory at all.71% similarUnverifiedThe proposal defines "state-induced forgetting" as: information can be correctly retrieved when it first enters memory, but as subsequent memory states are updated, that information becomes inaccessible while the model weights remain unchanged.70% similarUnverifiedMemory contamination is a serious challenge for self-evolving memory systems, as agents may solidify erroneous information as knowledge and repeatedly reference it in subsequent decisions, forming a false positive feedback loop.70% similar
