feat(memory): catch contradictions in other languages and long sentences - #338
anushkaanair wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
Contradiction detection paired facts by subject and attribute family using
English keyword matching, and the subject had to appear in the first 6 words
with the right capitalization - so it missed any non-English fact, and long
sentences like "Last year in March, after the wedding, Riya moved to Mumbai."
fact_subjects (sentient/memory/facts.py):
- Words are now tokenized by Unicode category (letter/mark/number) instead of
an ASCII regex, so Devanagari, Cyrillic, CJK etc. names are found at all.
Marks (vowel signs like Devanagari matras) continue a word instead of
ending it - plain \w stops at the first one, which truncated "माया" to "म".
- Scripts without a case distinction can't use capitalization as the
"this looks like a name" signal, so any non-skip word is accepted there.
- Fixed two bugs found along the way: capitalized month names ("March") were
mistaken for a person's name, and the function gave up entirely on the
first unrecognized lowercase word - exactly what broke the long-sentence
example above, three words short of reaching "Riya".
attribute_families keeps its English keyword regexes as the fast path,
unchanged and free for existing English facts. A new embedding-based
fallback (embedding_attribute_families / profile_fact_async) runs only when
that comes back empty - typically non-English text - comparing the fact
against a short description of each family (new MemoryConfig.family_similarity
threshold). Wired into FactMemory._related_facts and DreamingService.
contradiction_pairs (now async), the nightly consolidation pass this is
mainly for.
Tests cover a Hindi (Devanagari) example and the long-sentence case.

Issue
#95requires generalized contradiction matching and a non-English test. The changes add Unicode-aware subject detection, a longer subject scan for leading clauses, and embedding-based attribute-family matching with English keyword matching as the fast path. The changes wire the fallback into fact profiling and contradiction grouping. Tests cover a Devanagari example, a long leading clause, family similarity, and keyword-first fallback behavior.

Digits, ' and - can start a word, so numbers can become fact subjects.
The docstring says a word starts with a letter. The code lets N (digit) and '/- characters start a word, because only M is blocked.
_cased("2") is false, so fact_subjects treats a digit-leading word as name-like. Digits are not in _LEAD_SKIP. Input like "In 2020 Maya moved to Pune" or "Every 3 weeks Maya ..." now returns {"2020"} or {"3"}. The real subject is skipped. Contradiction grouping and same_subject then use the wrong subject.
Allow only a letter to start a word.

Skip supported Hindi lead words before uncased-script detection.
For आज माया पुणे में रहती है, _name_words returns आज first. आज is not in _LEAD_SKIP, and _cased("आ") is false, so fact_subjects returns {"आज"} before it reaches माया. Related facts and contradiction groups require intersecting subject names, so the fact is not matched with an equivalent fact about माया.
Requiring letters at token starts does not fix this case because आज already starts with Unicode letters. Add specific function and temporal words to the lead-word exclusions. Do not treat every uncased word as a lead word, because that would reject genuine uncased-script subjects.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Embedding failure aborts profiling. Fall back to the keyword profile.
profile_fact_async awaits embedding_attribute_families without error handling. This runs for any fact that has no keyword family, which includes many English facts such as "Maya likes tea".
If the embedding provider is down, unconfigured, or rate-limited, the exception propagates. In DreamingService.contradiction_pairs it fails the whole contradiction step. Before this change that step worked offline. In _related_facts the caller catches the error, but the related-fact lookup is skipped.
The fallback is optional by design. Catch the exception, log it at debug level, and return the keyword profile.

Welcome @anushkaanair, and thank you for a careful PR! The long-sentence fix works: "Last year in March, after the wedding, Riya moved to Mumbai." now pairs with "Riya lives in Pune.", which main misses. The month-name and vowel-sign fixes are good too. A real run with the default local models turned up a few things before this can merge:
- Words starting with digits and symbols (
facts.py~139, ~241). Digits,'and-can start a word and count as name-like. "In 2021 Kabir moved to Delhi." and "In 2021 Karan moved to Goa." both get the subject2021and are paired as a contradiction, and "In 2020 Maya moved to Pune." no longer finds Maya. Please start words with a letter only. - Places picked up as subjects (~245). Scanning past lowercase words now picks the first capitalized place. "After the trip to Goa, Kabir started working at Infosys." and "After the trip to Goa, Karan started working at Wipro." both get
goa, and the real dream paired them. Could you skip a capitalized word that follows a preposition (in, to, from, at, after...), and add tests with two different people? - Scripts without capitals. Any word becomes the subject, and the skip list is English only. "पिछले" ("last") and "वह" become subjects, and "माया की बहन रिया" gets माया. Please narrow this, for example to the first word only, with a small skip list of common Hindi time words and pronouns, and add tests with different people.
- The default embedding model. With nomic-embed-text, the fallback never triggers: Hindi facts scored 0.44 to 0.49 against every family, so the Hindi Pune/Delhi pair was still not found. Please test with the default model, or find families another way.
- Speed. Please compare against the vectors each fact already has instead of embedding them again. A dream over 500 facts without a keyword family made 500 calls (241 s against 14.5 s on main), and saving one memory can make up to 60.
- Embedding failures. If embedding fails, please fall back to the keyword profile instead of failing the contradiction step.
- Docs. Please add a CHANGELOG line and mention
memory.family_similarityindocs/API.md(the Dreams section).
Happy to re-test once it's updated.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Reuse stored vectors while profiling dream facts.
active_facts already supplies each fact's vector, but this loop calls embed_query for every fact without a keyword family. Distinct facts can therefore require sequential embedding requests before pairing starts, even when the contradiction model-call budget is exhausted. Pass the stored vector into family classification and embed only facts without a usable vector.

Match subjects across scripts when forming contradiction pairs.
For माया दिल्ली में रहती है and Maya lives in Pune, successful family profiling still yields subject keys माया and maya. The exact-key groups never pair them. conflict_strength also rejects profiles whose subject sets do not intersect. Use the cross-script name-matching semantics in both checks so a bilingual contradiction can reach the model.

What and why
Contradiction detection pairs facts by subject and attribute family using English keyword matching, and the subject has to appear in the first few words with the right capitalization. That misses any non-English fact outright, and long sentences like "Last year in March, after the wedding, Riya moved to Mumbai." (no subject found at all, so the fact is never grouped with anything else of hers).
Closes #95
fact_subjects(subject detection)\wstops at the first one, which truncated "माया" to "म".attribute_families(residence / job / relationship / diet / ...)Keeps its English keyword regexes as the fast path - unchanged, and free for every existing English fact. A new embedding-based fallback (
embedding_attribute_families/profile_fact_async) runs only when that comes back empty, which in practice means non-English text: it compares the fact's embedding against a short description of each family, above a newMemoryConfig.family_similaritythreshold (default 0.78 - local embedding models reportedly score unrelated text around 0.65, same reasoning asUserModelConfig.context_min_similarity).Wired into
FactMemory._related_factsandDreamingService.contradiction_pairs(nowasync), the nightly consolidation pass this is mainly for - that's where facts actually get grouped by subject and settled.How I tested it
New tests in
tests/memory/test_dreaming.py:test_subject_in_non_english_script: a Hindi (Devanagari) "lives in"/"moved to" pair resolves to the same subject.test_subject_past_a_long_leading_clause: the issue's exact long-sentence example.test_embedding_attribute_families_matches_the_closest_prototype: the pure embedding-similarity function picks the right family and respects the threshold, using a deterministic injected embedder (one-hot vectors per family).test_profile_fact_async_only_falls_back_when_keywords_find_nothing: confirms the embedder is never called for English text (keyword match already found something), and is called for non-English text.I removed the implementation and reran
tests/memory/test_dreaming.pyfirst: it fails on anImportErrorfor the new symbols, confirming the new tests exercise the new code.Two unrelated, pre-existing failures in the full run, both reproduce identically on a clean checkout of
mainwith no changes applied:tests/channels/test_telegram.py::test_voice_note_is_transcribed_and_answered- flaky; passes on a second run.tests/test_hardware_context.py::test_detect_never_fails_when_every_probe_does- fails on Apple Silicon because the test's monkeypatched probe list doesn't include whatever probe reports the on-chip GPU (my machine has an Apple M5), sodetect()still returns a GPU entry. Unrelated to anything here.Screenshots
