Continual Graph Memory for Adaptive Recommendation under Intent Drift

The paper introduces CGM-Rec, a continual graph memory framework designed for adaptive recommendation in the presence of intent drift. CGM-Rec treats the knowledge graph as writable memory, comprising a conservative Semantic Graph Memory for stable relational knowledge and a fast-reactive Episodic Lesson Memory for recent outcomes and corrective hints. Experiments show that, with frozen model parameters and one-pass reranking, CGM-Rec outperforms neural and LLM-based baselines across multiple recommendation settings, achieving significant gains such as a 29.58% improvement in HR@1 over the strongest LLM baseline on Bundle.

rEDMRec: Distilling Large Language Model Reasoning into an Editable Experience Memory for Recommendation

The paper introduces rEDMRec, a method that compresses a large language model’s reasoning about user preferences and item comparisons into a compact, editable memory. This memory, organized into four channels—long‑term preference, short‑term context, item perception, and counterfactual hard‑negative comparisons—can be updated by an LLM controller and queried by a lightweight student LLM for ranking, eliminating the need to re‑run the expensive teacher model for each request. Experiments on ML‑1M, Amazon Beauty, and Steam datasets show that rEDMRec consistently outperforms zero‑shot, few‑shot, RAG, and GraphRAG baselines, achieving up to a 13.3% improvement in HR@1 on ML‑1M.

When Memory Takes Gradients: Collaborative Vector Memory for Agentic Recommender Systems

The paper introduces CoVeMem, a Collaborative Vector Memory system that replaces text-based memory in agentic recommender systems with vectorized user and item states derived from a frozen LightGCN model. By retrieving relevant historical states at each decision and integrating them as soft tokens in the LLM’s context, CoVeMem enables contrastive alignment and listwise co‑training to learn how to read and rank these states, achieving performance on par with or better than existing text‑memory agents across multiple benchmarks without extra LLM calls for memory updates.
