When Personal Memory Has No Single Answer: Evaluating LLM Agents under Irreducible Conflict
arXiv:2608. 13921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly maintain personal memory across sessions, but it can conflict.
arXiv:2608. 07438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human-like cognition does not select past experience by topical similarity alone: affective significance and unresolved conflict also shape what becomes accessible.
arXiv:2608. 13921v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents increasingly maintain personal memory across sessions, but it can conflict.
LLM agents increasingly maintain personal memory across sessions, but it can conflict. Preferences depend on context, behavior evolves, and sources can conflict. When a query lacks context, time, or s...
arXiv:2607. 17564v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI companions are judged not only by single-turn fluency but by whether they sustain emotional continuity: remembering who the companion is, what the user prefers, and how the relationship has felt.
arXiv:2606. 05761v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent AI assistants, such as OpenClaw, accumulate large collections of related memories over long-term interactions.
arXiv:2608. 07622v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory enables AI agents to maintain continuity across sessions, personalize behavior, and evolve through accumulated experience.
arXiv:2606. 06055v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory enables language model agents to support personalized interactions, but it remains unclear when available memories warrant integration into responses.
arXiv:2601. 09445v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In language models (LMs), intra-memory knowledge conflict arises when inconsistent information about the same subject is encoded within the model's parametric knowledge.
arXiv:2507. 05257v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents primarily focus on evaluating reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities, while another critical component-memory, encompassing how agents memorize, update, and retrieve long-term information-is under-evaluated due to the lack of benchmarks.
arXiv:2606. 07909v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Modern large language model (LLM) agents can use external tools to help users solve complex tasks.
arXiv:2606. 09483v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term memory for an LLM agent is more than retrieving the right passage at the right time.
arXiv:2606. 12945v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running LLM agents accumulate interaction histories far larger than any context window, forcing a standing decision: what to encode deeply, what to forget, and what to retrieve under a fixed memory budget.
The paper introduces MemProbe, a framework inspired by cognitive science to evaluate stability-plasticity tradeoffs in agent memory systems. It offers four experimental paradigms—interference, misinformation, consolidation strength, and reconsolidation window—to manipulate memory updates, preservation, and uncertainty. Using a 56-episode diagnostic suite, the authors evaluate six incremental memory systems, revealing that similar overall scores can mask distinct behavioral profiles in how memories are updated, preserved, attributed, and temporally organized.
