A team led by MemTensor (Shanghai) Technology introduced PHASE-Tree, a multi-timescale character representation, and LongEvoRoleBench, a benchmark for evaluating character evolution in long-horizon role-playing dialogue. The system improves character consistency and contextual coherence in generated responses, with explicit textual conditioning achieving average gains of 19.7% in character score and 12.4% in semantic score over baselines.

Key insights

  • Separating immutable identity from mutable traits across different timescales (persona, session, moment) in the PHASE-Tree provides a cleaner and more robust conditioning signal for character evolution.
  • Transient contextual cues, captured by the session and moment layers, are crucial for significantly improving character consistency and contextual coherence in dialogue generation.
  • While implicit parametric adaptation offers high token efficiency, the profile-to-LoRA mapping acts as a compression bottleneck, limiting the fine-grained state detail that can be effectively conveyed parametrically.
