Recurrent Harness for Agentic Continual Learning

ReHarness is a recurrent harness framework designed for agentic continual learning, enabling language model agents to adapt online to distribution shifts. It augments forward read/write operations with backward revision, using feedback from each instance’s trajectory to refine the harness state. Experiments on three continual learning benchmarks and multiple language model backbones show that ReHarness outperforms baseline methods, producing source‑grounded revisions that improve stability and plasticity.

Rep2Skill: Representation-Guided Skill Self-Evolution for LLM Agents

Rep2Skill introduces a representation-guided framework that enables large language model agents to self-evolve their textual skills by analyzing internal representation trajectories from agent rollouts. The method identifies execution turns that deviate from successful dynamics and uses these signals, together with execution contexts, as actionable feedback for targeted skill revision. Experiments with two open-source LLMs across two agent environments demonstrate that Rep2Skill consistently outperforms purely text-based approaches, showing that incorporating internal representations can enhance agent self-improvement.

What Should an Agent Forget? Separating What Is Stored from What Is Used

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.

MemFuse: Multi-Source Memory Fusion from Fragmented Observations

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.

Navigating Unreliable Parametric and Contextual Knowledge: Explicit Knowledge Conflict Resolution for LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 20245v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across a wide range of language-based tasks by leveraging both extensive parametric knowledge and in-context learning ability, enabling them to incorporate external information provided in the input prompt.
