A neural network with key-value episodic memory retrieves and organizes memories based on causal event structures

2025-09-05

Abstract excerpt

Humans reflect on memories to make sense of ongoing events. Past work has shown that people retrieve causally related memories during comprehension, but the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Here, we used a recurrent neural network augmented with a key-value episodic memory buffer and trained it to predict upcoming scenes while watching a television episode. At each time step, the model transforme...
