摘要
Long-horizon personalized agents maintain an evolving memory by continuously deciding what to add, modify, or discard. However, learning an optimal update policy remains challenging. Conventional training relies solely on terminal question-answering accuracy, yielding a coarse feedback signal that treats all intermediate updates identically. Furthermore, update utility is inherently user-specific, as identical memory actions may yield opposite effects across different user personas. Existing methods fail to address this heterogeneity, relying on globally shared evaluation standards with at most a single scalar intermediate reward. To address these challenges, we propose \textbf{Personalized Memory Rubrics} (\textbf{PMR}), a framework that translates terminal feedback into fine-grained, per-step, and per-user credit assignment. PMR decomposes evaluation into a universal layer capturing cross-persona failure patterns and a per-user adaptive layer modeling individual traits as a specialized delta over the universal baseline. Through \textbf{Rubric-Guided Credit Assignment}, PMR redistributes credit at the token level, selectively amplifying validated decisions on successful trajectories while falling back to standard policy optimization on failed ones to avoid unreliable attribution. The rubric and memory policy \textbf{co-evolve} in a closed loop with anti-circularity guarantees. Crucially, PMR incurs zero inference overhead, operating without any rubric or external judge during deployment. Extensive experiments across four benchmarks demonstrate consistent gains over strong memory-augmented baselines.
