记忆机制设计

1. 分层记忆架构

from typing import Dict, List, Optional
from dataclasses import dataclass
from datetime import datetime
import json

@dataclass
class MemoryLayer:
    """记忆层级定义"""
    name: str
    capacity: int
    ttl: int  # Time to live in seconds
    priority: int

class MemorySystem:
    def __init__(self):
        self.layers = {
            "working": MemoryLayer("working", 5, 300, 1),
            "short_term": MemoryLayer("short_term", 20, 3600, 2),
            "long_term": MemoryLayer("long_term", 100, 86400, 3)
        }
        self.memories: Dict[str, List[Dict]] = {
            layer: [] for layer in self.layers
        }
    
    async def add_memory(
        self, 
        content: Dict, 
        layer: str = "working"
    ):
        """添加新记忆"""
        memory_item = {
            "content": content,
            "timestamp": datetime.now().timestamp(),
            "access_count": 0
        }
        
        await self._manage_capacity(layer)
        self.memories[layer].append(memory_item)

2. 记忆检索与更新

class MemoryManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.memory_system = MemorySystem()
        self.embeddings = {}  # 用于语义检索
    
    async def retrieve_relevant_context(
        self, 
        query: str, 
        k: int = 3
    ) -> List[Dict]:
        """检索相关上下文"""
        query_embedding = await self._get_embedding(query)
        relevant_memories = []
        
        for layer in ["working", "short_term", "long_term"]:
            memories = await self._search_layer(
                layer, 
                query_embedding, 
                k
            )
            relevant_memories.extend(memories)
        
        return self._rank_and_filter(
            relevant_memories, 
            k
        )
    
    async def update_memory_state(
        self, 
        conversation_state: Dict
    ):
        """更新记忆状态"""
        await self._promote_relevant_memories(
            conversation_state
        )
        await self._cleanup_stale_memories()

实战案例：智能对话系统

1. 对话管理器

class DialogueManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.memory_manager = MemoryManager()
        self.state_manager = StateManager()
        self.conversation_history = []
    
    async def process_input(
        self, 
        user_input: str, 
        context: Dict
    ) -> Dict:
        """处理用户输入"""
        # 获取相关上下文
        relevant_context = await self.memory_manager.retrieve_relevant_context(
            user_input
        )
        
        # 更新对话状态
        current_state = await self.state_manager.update_state(
            user_input,
            relevant_context
        )
        
        # 生成响应
        response = await self._generate_response(
            user_input,
            current_state,
            relevant_context
        )
        
        # 更新记忆
        await self._update_conversation_memory(
            user_input,
            response,
            current_state
        )
        
        return response

2. 状态管理机制

class StateManager:
    def __init__(self):
        self.current_state = {
            "conversation_id": None,
            "turn_count": 0,
            "user_intent": None,
            "active_context": {},
            "pending_actions": []
        }
        self.state_history = []
    
    async def update_state(
        self, 
        user_input: str, 
        context: Dict
    ) -> Dict:
        """更新对话状态"""
        # 分析用户意图
        intent = await self._analyze_intent(user_input)
        
        # 更新状态
        self.current_state.update({
            "turn_count": self.current_state["turn_count"] + 1,
            "user_intent": intent,
            "active_context": context
        })
        
        # 状态转换处理
        await self._handle_state_transition(intent)
        
        # 记录状态历史
        self.state_history.append(
            self.current_state.copy()
        )
        
        return self.current_state

3. 会话控制流程

class ConversationController:
    def __init__(self):
        self.dialogue_manager = DialogueManager()
        self.flow_rules = self._load_flow_rules()
    
    async def manage_conversation(
        self, 
        user_input: str
    ) -> Dict:
        """管理对话流程"""
        # 获取当前状态
        current_state = await self.dialogue_manager.get_current_state()
        
        # 应用流程规则
        next_action = await self._apply_flow_rules(
            current_state,
            user_input
        )
        
        # 执行动作
        response = await self._execute_action(
            next_action,
            user_input,
            current_state
        )
        
        # 更新对话状态
        await self.dialogue_manager.update_state(
            response,
            next_action
        )
        
        return response

状态管理最佳实践

1. 状态持久化

class StatePersistence:
    def __init__(self, storage_path: str):
        self.storage_path = storage_path
        self.cache = {}
    
    async def save_state(
        self, 
        conversation_id: str, 
        state: Dict
    ):
        """保存状态"""
        self.cache[conversation_id] = state
        await self._persist_to_storage(
            conversation_id,
            state
        )
    
    async def load_state(
        self, 
        conversation_id: str
    ) -> Optional[Dict]:
        """加载状态"""
        if conversation_id in self.cache:
            return self.cache[conversation_id]
        
        return await self._load_from_storage(
            conversation_id
        )

2. 会话状态监控

class StateMonitor:
    def __init__(self):
        self.metrics = {
            "state_transitions": [],
            "memory_usage": [],
            "response_times": []
        }
    
    async def track_state_change(
        self, 
        old_state: Dict, 
        new_state: Dict
    ):
        """跟踪状态变化"""
        transition = {
            "timestamp": datetime.now().timestamp(),
            "from": old_state["user_intent"],
            "to": new_state["user_intent"],
            "turn_count": new_state["turn_count"]
        }
        
        self.metrics["state_transitions"].append(
            transition
        )
