*From visible routines to subtle clues: a cat bowl, a cat tree, and a background meow jointly suggest that the user has a cat.*
*从日常活动到隐式线索:猫碗、猫爬架与背景中的猫叫声,共同指向用户养猫这一信息。*

## English
### Overview
What should an agent remember when a user never says it directly? A recurring object in a photograph or a background sound in a voice message may carry information that matters in a later conversation.
**CUE-Mem** evaluates long-term user memory across text, images, and audio, covering both explicit statements and implicit cues. See the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.32574) for benchmark design and evaluation protocols.
This repository distributes **conversation histories, questions, media, and metadata**. Construction and evaluation code lives on [GitHub](https://github.com/yulinlp/CUE-MEM); the [interactive demo](https://reichenbach1854-hash.github.io/CUE-Mem/) presents selected examples.
### Dataset at a glance
Counts below are computed from this release's metadata. A conversation record means one row in `dialogue_turns.jsonl`, not an individual speaker message. Sessions are counted using profile and session ID together.
| Component | Count |
| :--- | ---: |
| User profiles | 20 |
| Conversation sessions | 648 |
| Conversation records | 5,798 |
| Evaluation questions | 2,674 |
| Images | 4,876 |
| Audio files | 2,228 |
| Total media files | 7,104 |
Dialogue and question text is primarily Chinese; some descriptive fields are in English. Bilingual documentation does not imply parallel translations of every example.

### Tasks
The release's `point` field distinguishes question categories. Image-based questions can supply visual answer options through `option_images`.
| Task | Focus | `point` values | Questions |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | ---: |
| Entity Recall | User-related entities and attributes | `entity_text`, `entity_img` | 1,128 |
| Long Pattern | Persistent preferences and habits | `pref_text`, `pref_img` | 363 |
| Personalized Recommendation | Apply user memory to recommendations | `rec_text`, `rec_img` | 364 |
| Answer Refusal | Insufficient evidence or misleading premises | `adversarial_text` | 819 |

*Four tasks, illustrated with questions, answer choices, and supporting memory clues. Open the PDF to inspect the details.*
*四类任务的具体示例,包括问题、候选答案与记忆线索。[View PDF / 查看原始 PDF](figure/task_example.pdf).*
**Label detail:** `qa_type` is heterogeneous: some values are `explicit` / `implicit`, others are entity categories (`Relationship`, `Pets`, `Items`), and a few are empty. Do not use it as a universal binary evidence label. Preserve optional fields such as `entity_explicitness` and follow the evaluation code's interpretation.
### Construction Pipeline / 数据构建流程
![Benchmark construction: script synthesis, multimodal dialogue synthesis, and data review / 基准构建:脚本合成、多模态对话合成与数据审核](figure/benchmark.png)
*Construction pipeline: profile and event planning → multimodal dialogue synthesis → automatic checks and human review.*
*构建流程:用户档案与事件规划 → 多模态对话合成 → 自动检查与人工审核。*
### Files and annotations
Files are published directly at the repository root, without an extra `CUE-Mem-Benchmark/` wrapper or archive extraction step. See the shared directory tree below.
Each `history_with_qa_p*.json` contains `character_profile`, `multi_session_dialogues`, and `human-annotated QAs`. The flattened JSONL files are convenient entry points for analysis.
| Metadata file | Contents | Useful fields |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `dialogue_turns.jsonl` | One conversation record per line | `p_id`, `session_id`, `round`, `date`, `task_id`, `user`, `assistant`, `input_image`, `input_voice_message` |
| `questions.jsonl` | One question per line | `qa_id`, `p_id`, `question`, `answer`, `point`, `qa_type`, `clue`, `option_images`, `source_file` |
| `media_manifest.jsonl` | Media inventory | `path`, `media_type`, `format`, `size_bytes` |
| `checksums.sha256` | SHA-256 checksums for `data/` files | Hash and relative file path |
Fields vary by modality and task. Audio-only turns may have no `user` text field. Captions are available in `image_caption`, `voice_caption`, and `user_voice_message_caption` where present.
Media paths, `source_file`, and manifest `path` use `/` separators and are relative to the dataset root. However, `clue` can contain evidence identifiers such as `D09:02` or `D09-001.wav`, which are not necessarily repository paths. Include `p_id` when joining session or turn references across profiles.
### Evaluation notes
Keep reference answers, rationales, and evidence annotations outside the evaluated system's memory unless the protocol explicitly provides them, such as an oracle-evidence baseline. State whether the system receives raw media, captions, or both. Preserve profile/session boundaries and conversation order; report the dataset revision, question selection, model, and memory configuration.
Generated scenarios and profile media should not be interpreted as verified observations about real people. Consult the [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.32574) for construction details and limitations, and the [GitHub README](https://github.com/yulinlp/CUE-MEM#readme) for environment setup, dataset preparation, and RQ1–RQ3 evaluation instructions.

## 中文说明
### 基准简介
用户没有直接说出口的信息,智能体能否在之后的对话中记住并使用?照片中反复出现的物品、语音里的环境声音,都可能是理解用户的重要线索。
**CUE-Mem** 面向文本、图像和音频交织的长期对话,评测记忆系统对显式信息与隐式线索的保留、检索和利用能力。基准设计与评测协议见[论文](https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.32574)。
本仓库提供**对话历史、问答、媒体文件及元数据**;构建与评测代码位于 [GitHub](https://github.com/yulinlp/CUE-MEM),可通过[在线 Demo](https://reichenbach1854-hash.github.io/CUE-Mem/)浏览精选示例。
### 数据规模与任务
当前发布数据包含 **20 个用户档案、648 个会话、5,798 条对话记录、2,674 道问题**,以及 **4,876 张图像、2,228 个音频文件**。会话按用户和会话 ID 联合计数;对话记录数对应 `dialogue_turns.jsonl` 的行数,并非将双方消息分别计数。
| 任务 | 评测目标 | `point` 字段 | 题数 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | ---: |
| 实体回忆(Entity Recall) | 记住与用户相关的实体及属性 | `entity_text`、`entity_img` | 1,128 |
| 长期模式(Long Pattern) | 从多次交互中归纳偏好和习惯 | `pref_text`、`pref_img` | 363 |
| 个性化推荐(Personalized Recommendation) | 将用户记忆用于新的推荐问题 | `rec_text`、`rec_img` | 364 |
| 拒答(Answer Refusal) | 识别证据不足或问题前提不可靠的情况 | `adversarial_text` | 819 |
对话和问题主要为中文,部分描述字段为英文;双语说明并不代表全部样本都有平行翻译。图像类问题可通过 `option_images` 提供图片选项。
### 文件与字段
仓库根目录直接包含 `README.md`、`LICENSE`、`data/` 和 `metadata/`,没有额外套一层目录,下载后无需拼接或解压分卷。完整目录树见下方。
`data/dialog/base/` 中每个用户对应一个 JSON,包含 `character_profile`(用户档案)、`multi_session_dialogues`(多会话对话)和 `human-annotated QAs`(问答)。`data/event/` 保存对话图像与音频,`data/qa/` 保存问题图片,`data/profile/generated_portraits/` 保存生成的用户/实体参考图像。
| 元数据文件 | 内容与读取要点 |
| :--- | :--- |
| `dialogue_turns.jsonl` | 每行一条对话记录;用 `p_id`、`session_id`、`round` 定位,媒体见 `input_image`、`input_voice_message` |
| `questions.jsonl` | 每行一道问题;包含问题、答案、任务类型、线索及部分题目的图片选项 |
| `media_manifest.jsonl` | 媒体清单:`path`、`media_type`、`format`、`size_bytes` |
| `checksums.sha256` | `data/` 文件的 SHA-256 校验值,用于检查下载完整性 |
不同模态和题型的字段不完全一致。音频轮次可能没有 `user` 文本字段;描述可见 `image_caption`、`voice_caption`、`user_voice_message_caption` 等可选字段。
读取时请注意:
- 媒体路径、`source_file` 和清单中的 `path` 相对于数据集根目录;`clue` 中的 `D09:02`、`D09-001.wav` 等可能是线索 ID,不能一律当作磁盘路径。跨用户关联时应同时使用 `p_id`。
- `qa_type` 并非统一的显式/隐式二分类:部分为 `explicit` 或 `implicit`,实体题也使用 `Relationship`、`Pets`、`Items`,另有少量空值。请结合 `entity_explicitness` 等字段及评测代码解释标签。
### 评测建议
请保持用户、会话边界和原始对话顺序,并记录数据版本、抽样方式、模型及记忆系统配置。除协议明确允许的情况(如 oracle-evidence 基线)外,不应将标准答案、解释或标注线索提前写入被评测系统的记忆。使用原始媒体、文本描述或二者组合时,也应在结果中说明。
生成场景及用户媒体不应被视为真实人物的已核实经历。构建方法和局限性见[论文](https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.32574);环境配置、数据准备及 RQ1–RQ3 实验步骤见 [GitHub README](https://github.com/yulinlp/CUE-MEM#readme)。
