Human-like memory retrieval mechanisms for social companions

This paper demonstrates a biologically- and psychologicallyinspired human-like computational memory focusing on the retrieval mechanisms – Spreading Activation and Compound Cue for a companion agent’s episodic memory that might help the agent to manage it’s memory more efficiently and enable it to have a more natural interaction with the user.
