GNM PersonaMem Benchmark
The PersonaMem preference-selectivity benchmark from "Tell Me What To Learn: Generalizing Neural Memory to be Controllable in Natural Language" (NeurIPS 2026) — a multiple-choice variant of PersonaMem-v2 where a memory model must learn user preferences for instructed topics while ignoring preferences for non-instructed topics.
Download with python scripts/download_data.py --personamem from the
code repo; everything lands
under data/personamem/. Split names follow the paper (train / Val-ID / Val-OOD).
| Path | Split | Use |
|---|---|---|
val_ood.json |
Val-OOD | learning instructions target the 10 held-out topics — every PersonaMem number in the paper (Table 2, Figure 4, appendix) is computed on this file. Carries each trained model's precomputed no-memory baseline letters for the collision filter |
train_gnm/ |
train + Val-ID | the released GNM model's training corpus (train_0-4.json) + val_id.json (unseen preferences, seen target topics; the early-stopping split) |
train_icl/ |
train + Val-ID | the released ICL-FT model's training corpus + val_id.json — a later regeneration from the same preference pool with every probe retained (a superset of train_gnm/'s probes) |
train_gnm_seed_robustness/ |
train + Val-ID | identical to train_gnm/ except the precomputed baseline letters are stored under the field the trainer reads (memoryllm_baseline_letter); used for the appendix seed retrains |
implicit_eval/, inferred_eval/ |
Val-OOD | the same examples with rewritten learning instructions for the appendix experiments (hand-authored implicit intents / instructions authored by a frozen LLM) |
Training note: val_id.json drives early stopping and model selection; val_ood.json
appears in training configs only as per-epoch monitoring and never influences checkpoint
selection. Derived from PersonaMem-v2; generation scripts in data_pipelines/personamem/
of the code repo.
