APM-Bench: Benchmarking Cross-session Persistent Memory for Egocentric Streaming Video Assistants
Summary
APM-Bench is a new benchmark for evaluating persistent memory in egocentric streaming video assistants across intermittent sessions. It reveals a significant utility-latency-storage trade-off, showing current models struggle with long-term recall, low overhead, and proactive assistance simultaneously.
- Real-world streaming assistants need persistent memory across intermittent sessions, a gap in current benchmarks.
- APM-Bench models multi-session "life trajectories" with fine-grained video annotations and diverse questions.
- Key challenges for persistent memory include selective retention, efficient injection, and recognizing missing evidence.
- Evaluation reveals a clear utility-latency-storage trade-off for existing memory systems.
Researchers and engineers developing AI assistants for egocentric video will find this benchmark crucial for evaluating and improving persistent memory systems that handle real-world, intermittent interactions.
