The paper introduces FAME, a training‑free framework that evaluates false memory in autonomous agents by tracking how their internal beliefs shift under counterfactual scenarios. False memory, defined as biases arising from spurious correlations, environment shifts, or knowledge conflicts, is hard to detect with standard methods. FAME measures concept drift in hidden states, achieving AUROCs between 76.2% and 96.7% and outperforming baselines on benchmarks such as GSM‑Symbolic, GitChameleon, and BigBench‑Hard.

arXiv:2608. 08889v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recommendation systems thrive on personalization, where ''correctness'' is rarely a binary truth but a matter of subjective human preference.
By Juncheng Dong, Ding Tong, Ishan Gupta, Yuyan Wang
As preferences, goals, and facts change, LLM agents must use the current state while earlier versions remain in context. Yet they can answer with an old value of the same variable, a failure that we c...

arXiv:2608. 16168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferences may be distributed across time, change with context, and conflict with earlier evidence.
