FadeMem: Distance-Aware Memory Consolidation for Autoregressive Video Diffusion 文章

arXiv:2606.10671v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive video generators synthesize long videos by generating successive temporal segments, but their historical KV cache grows with video length. Existing bounded-cache methods reduce this cost with local windows, sink tokens, or compressed memory states, yet they usually assign fixed roles to different parts of the history. We propose FadeMem, a distance-aware KV memory consolidation mechanism that organizes historical KV blocks into a temporal hierarchy under a fixed cache budget. This design is motivated by frequency-dependent temporal decay: fine details decorrelate quickly, while coarse scene structure and identity remain useful over longer horizons. During generation, new history is inserted as fine-grained entries, while older adjacent entries are progressively merged under a power-law temporal allocation schedule, yielding a dense-near, sparse-far memory within one cache.
