Abstract
EviMem combines IRIS for detecting evidence gaps through sufficiency evaluation and LaceMem for layered memory hierarchy to improve conversational question answering accuracy while reducing latency.
Long-termconversational memoryrequires retrieving evidence scattered across multiple sessions, yet single-pass retrieval fails on temporal andmulti-hop questions. Existing iterative methods refine queries via generated content or document-level signals, but none explicitly diagnoses the evidence gap, namely what is missing from the accumulated retrieval set, leavingquery refinementuntargeted. We present EviMem, combiningIRIS(Iterative Retrievalvia Insufficiency Signals), a closed-loop framework that detects evidence gaps throughsufficiency evaluation, diagnoses what is missing, and drives targetedquery refinement, withLaceMem(Layered Architecturefor Conversational Evidence Memory), a coarse-to-fine memory hierarchy supporting fine-grained gap diagnosis. On LoCoMo, EviMem improves Judge Accuracy over MIRIX on temporal (73.3% to 81.6%) and multi-hop (65.9% to 85.2%) questions at 4.5x lower latency. Code: https://github.com/AIGeeksGroup/EviMem.
