The world has witnessed a significant surge in interest and research into open-domain communication systems. Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and the anticipated GPT-4 are at the eye of this storm, given their excellent handling of natural language processing. However, as remarkable as their progress has been, maintaining the context during extended interactions remains a challenge for these models.
Present iterations of LLMs, like ChatGPT, hit a wall when it comes to retaining the context of long-term conversations. Existing solutions often require labelling of data or additional resources, but these aren’t always viable. For AI innovations to continue advancing, this barrier needs a solution that doesn’t rely on these costly and time-consuming methods.
Enter researchers from the University of Sydney and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who recently introduced a plausible solution. Their research circles around the unique concept of recursive summaries. Recursive summaries act as a memory bank for AIs to store crucial details throughout the course of a conversation.
The mechanism at play is ingeniously simple. First, the LLM would create a background context summary, then keep accumulating this summary with critical conversation points as communication unfolds. This approach is incredibly practical for real-world dialogues featuring multiple turns.
The usage of recursive summaries allows LLMs to effectively manage prolonged dialogue sessions without necessitating the expensive extension of max-length settings. That’s a significant development in the field of AI conversation models.
The researchers carried out experiments on popular, long-term data sets using ChatGPT and text-davinci-003 from OpenAI’s LLM API. The performance improvement seen with the incorporation of a single labeled sample was significant, providing a ray of hope for transforming AI conversations.
While the results are promising, it’s important to err on the side of caution. The costs associated with utilizing large models have not yet been addressed by this method. Additionally, the efficiency of the system has been gauged only through automatic methods, which may fail to fully capture the nuances required for open-domain chatbots.
With the current success, the researchers aim to continue their development by testing the recursive summaries on other long-context tasks like story generation. They’re also targeting improvements to the summarizing capabilities of these models using a locally supervised fine-tuned LLM.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
