Introduction
The ai_infinite_memory.py
module introduces an advanced memory management system for AI models.
It provides features for storing, updating, and retrieving knowledge across sessions, effectively simulating a persistent memory.
This capability allows the AI system to maintain context over long periods, making it suitable for conversational AI, real-time learning, and decision-making.
The module utilizes hybrid memory techniques, combining real-time memory for ongoing interactions and long-term memory storage for knowledge retention. The stored knowledge can be used for self-adaptive improvements, debugging, and auditing.
Purpose
- Simulate continuous and persistent states of memory in AI systems.
- Enable context-based interactions by storing knowledge over sessions.
- Reduce computation costs by utilizing previously learned or saved data.
- Bridge the gap between isolated AI processes and stateful systems.
- Aid in debugging and system auditing with historical memory access.
Key Features
- Real-Time Memory: Capture and store memories during a live session for immediate access.
- Long-Term Persistence: Use distributed databases or file storage to persist memory across sessions.
- Memory Optimization: Remove or compress obsolete data to avoid performance bottlenecks.
- Contextual Memory Retrieval: Retrieve memories based on contextual triggers, enhancing decision-making processes.
- Self-Maintenance: Validate and update memory contents dynamically.
Logic and Implementation
This module introduces a memory handler that seamlessly integrates real-time and persistent storage for knowledge management. Below is a simplified implementation for handling AI memory:
import json
import os
class InfiniteMemory:
"""
AI memory management system for persistent and real-time context.
"""
def __init__(self, memory_file="memory.json"):
"""
Initialize the memory handler.
:param memory_file: Path to the persistent memory file.
"""
self.memory = {} # Real-time memory
self.memory_file = memory_file
self._load_memory()
def _load_memory(self):
"""
Load long-term memory from a file.
"""
if os.path.exists(self.memory_file):
with open(self.memory_file, "r") as file:
self.memory = json.load(file)
print("[INFO] Memory loaded successfully.")
else:
print("[INFO] No persistent memory found. Initializing with empty memory.")
def save_memory(self):
"""
Save the current real-time memory to the persistent file.
"""
with open(self.memory_file, "w") as file:
json.dump(self.memory, file, indent=4)
print("[INFO] Memory saved successfully.")
def store(self, key, value):
"""
Store a key-value pair in real-time memory.
:param key: Memory key.
:param value: Memory value.
"""
self.memory[key] = value
def retrieve(self, key):
"""
Retrieve a value from memory using a key.
:param key: Memory key to search.
:return: Memory value if found, else None.
"""
return self.memory.get(key)
def forget(self, key):
"""
Delete a memory entry using a key.
:param key: Memory key to delete.
"""
if key in self.memory:
del self.memory[key]
print(f"[INFO] '{key}' removed from memory.")
else:
print(f"[WARNING] Key '{key}' not found in memory.")
# Example Usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
memory_system = InfiniteMemory()
# Storing and retrieving memory
memory_system.store("favorite_color", "blue")
print("Favorite color:", memory_system.retrieve("favorite_color"))
# Forgetting memory
memory_system.forget("favorite_color")
print("Favorite color after forgetting:", memory_system.retrieve("favorite_color"))
# Save current memory to disk
memory_system.save_memory()
Dependencies
json
: Handles serialization and deserialization of memory data.os
: Facilitates file operations (loading and saving persistent memory).
Usage
The InfiniteMemory
class is designed for flexibility, allowing developers to integrate it into any AI system
requiring memory persistence. Below is a step-by-step usage guide:
# Initialize InfiniteMemory
memory = InfiniteMemory(memory_file="ai_memory.json")
# Store data
memory.store("task_status", "Completed")
# Retrieve data
print(memory.retrieve("task_status"))
# Forget a memory
memory.forget("task_status")
# Save memory to persistent storage
memory.save_memory()
System Integration
- Conversational AI: Retain the state of user interactions for contextually-aware responses.
- Autonomous Agents: Store mission-critical data for use during long-running operations.
- Decision Support Systems: Use memory snapshots for analyzing system performance trends.
- Audit Trails: Maintain memory history to support auditing and debugging.
Future Enhancements
- Introduce encryption for secure memory storage.
- Enable memory distribution to support distributed AI systems.
- Incorporate machine learning models for prioritizing data retention dynamically.
- Implement time-based memory erasure policies to ensure system scalability.
