Track 03 · Memory + Context Retrieval

HydraMemory

A real LongMemEval-S full500 run materialized temporal sessions, facts, entities, supersession and contradiction in pinned HydraDB, then compared A/B/C/D retrieval. A later pre-registered K5/K10 matrix tested retrieval depth as a controlled perturbation.

01 / K=5 RETRIEVAL RESULT

The graph worked. The tested K=5 retrieval advantage did not appear.

B, C and D did not establish a positive Hit@5 advantage over route A at the tested K=5 configuration. Evidence-path coverage can increase while top-k recall declines; HydraDG retains that null/negative result.

02 / K=5 → K=10 DEPTH ABLATION

K=10 improved retrieval depth without establishing a representation or model win.

The pre-registered 2×2 matrix held the frozen dataset and retrieval logic fixed while comparing RAW vs SeedGraph at K=5 and K=10. RAW and SeedGraph were identical at the same K; increasing K improved Hit@K and Recall@K while evidence-path coverage density declined.

Method D depth effect

+2.553 pp Hit · +7.670 pp Recall

K10 minus K5 in the retained local matrix. This supports a ranking-depth/cutoff effect under the tested implementation.

Model involvement

NONE IN PRIMARY MATRIX

The K10 result is not evidence that an LLM improved retrieval. Model-assisted extraction remains a separate future controlled axis.

These digests establish retained byte/object identity under the recorded run; they do not establish correctness by themselves.
