Long-term language-model agents rely on external memory across interactions. Atomic memories are particularly useful: their fine-grained semantic boundaries enable precise retrieval and direct compari...
MemoryLACE (MemLACE) is a lightweight memory framework that explicitly models the lifecycle of textual evidence—capturing sparse merge, supersession, and contradiction relations—while preserving atomic natural‑language memories and their provenance. Unlike traditional systems that retrieve memories independently, MemLACE reconstructs relation‑aware evidence units that expose current, historical, supporting, and conflicting evidence for downstream reasoning. In benchmark evaluations (BEAM and StructMemEval) using both open‑weight and proprietary LLM backbones, MemLACE achieves the highest overall performance among same‑backbone comparisons and reduces BEAM runtime by 66.6% compared to the strongest reflective‑memory baseline, Hindsight.

The paper introduces RD-Forget, a training‑free framework that separates what a persistent language agent stores from what it uses at answer time. It keeps a source archive of all observations while a query‑conditioned memory view filters evidence relevant to the current question, using a frozen language‑model curator to group facts into semantic slots and preserve multi‑hop relations. The approach employs rate‑distortion principles to stay within a memory budget and demonstrates improvements across conversational memory, knowledge updating, fact consolidation, long‑context reasoning, and personalization tasks.

The paper introduces AMA, a framework that uses multiple agents—Constructor, Retriever, Judge, and Refresher—to manage memory for large language model agents. AMA’s hierarchical memory design dynamically adjusts retrieval granularity to match task complexity, while the Judge and Refresher ensure relevance, consistency, and timely updates. Experiments on long-context benchmarks show AMA outperforms existing baselines and cuts token usage by about 80% compared to full-context approaches.

Persistent language agents need stored experience to remain available across time, while each answer requires evidence suited to a particular question. A superseded fact can mislead a current-state an...
Large language model agents have shown strong capabilities in generating coherent and contextually appropriate responses, yet robust long-horizon dialogue remains limited by the lack of external memory that is traceable, updatable, and diagnostically transparent. Existing memory-augmented agents often store memories as isolated records or overwritable states, making it difficult to preserve how information originates, evolves, conflicts, or becomes obsolete over time.
arXiv:2606. 11680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their inherent statelessness, requiring all task-relevant information to be encoded in growing input contexts.

MemFuseBench is a benchmark for multi‑source memory fusion that generates source‑tagged observations, evidence‑grounded questions, and adversarial distractors using a Scene‑to‑Sensor pipeline. The proposed MemFuse system preserves source‑level evidence in atomic memory and clusters related events into fused memory via a causal fusion graph, enabling traceable retrieval of dispersed observations. Experiments show that MemFuse outperforms other memory systems across all LLM settings, especially on questions requiring cross‑source evidence fusion.

MemFuse introduces a multi‑source memory fusion system and a corresponding benchmark, MemFuseBench, designed to evaluate agents that must integrate fragmented observations from multiple applications, devices, users, and time points. The benchmark uses a Scene‑to‑Sensor pipeline to generate source‑tagged observations, evidence‑grounded questions, and adversarial distractors, enabling systematic assessment of temporal reasoning, cross‑source evidence fusion, and noise robustness. Experiments show that MemFuse outperforms other memory systems across all evaluated LLM settings, especially on questions requiring cross‑source evidence fusion.
