The [Memory
Types](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/memory/types/) menu is
clogged with unnecessary wording.
I've made it more concise by simplifying titles of the example
notebooks.
As results, menu is shorter and better for comprehend.
`ConversationBufferWindowMemory` keeps a list of the interactions of the conversation over time. It only uses the last K interactions. This can be useful for keeping a sliding window of the most recent interactions, so the buffer does not get too large
Entity Memory remembers given facts about specific entities in a conversation. It extracts information on entities (using an LLM) and builds up its knowledge about that entity over time (also using an LLM).
Now let's take a look at using a slightly more complex type of memory - `ConversationSummaryMemory`. This type of memory creates a summary of the conversation over time. This can be useful for condensing information from the conversation over time.
Conversation summary memory summarizes the conversation as it happens and stores the current summary in memory. This memory can then be used to inject the summary of the conversation so far into a prompt/chain. This memory is most useful for longer conversations, where keeping the past message history in the prompt verbatim would take up too many tokens.
"`ConversationSummaryBufferMemory` combines the last two ideas. It keeps a buffer of recent interactions in memory, but rather than just completely flushing old interactions it compiles them into a summary and uses both. Unlike the previous implementation though, it uses token length rather than number of interactions to determine when to flush interactions.\n",
