A Storage-Retrieval Gap in Parametric Knowledge Graph Memory

The paper investigates a parametric approach to knowledge graph memory by compiling each entity into a LoRA adapter, enabling zero‑cost query-time retrieval via weight injection. On the MetaQA dataset, these adapters encode context‑free factual knowledge, improving exact‑match scores by up to +0.243 over a base model and achieving an oracle gap of +0.283. However, the stored knowledge is not recoverable through similarity or embedding‑based methods, indicating that knowledge is stored locally and does not transfer across semantically neighboring entities.

Knowledge Graph Enhanced Memory-Augmented Retrieval for Long Context Modeling

arXiv:2606. 14047v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context language modeling requires not only extending context windows but maintaining coherent understanding of entity states and relationships across thousands of tokens -- a challenge that semantic similarity alone cannot address.

Cross-Model Memory Transfer via Target-Side Reader Adaptation

The paper investigates how Engram-style hashed memory can be transferred between different language model backbones. By freezing a memory table trained on a source model and attaching it to a target model with only a lightweight reader, the authors find that both the memory content and correct addressing are important, but the reader must be aligned to the target to make the memory useful. In question‑answering experiments, a dual‑layer, four‑branch reader nearly matches same‑model performance, and when the reader interface is directly compatible, the frozen memory alone provides substantial benefit, with optional reader adaptation offering further gains.

KGCache: Amortized Subgraph Retrieval for KG Reasoning with LLMs

arXiv:2608. 07954v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models can answer knowledge-intensive questions more reliably when they are grounded with knowledge graphs, but systems such as Think-on-Graph and Reasoning-on-Graph repeatedly query the same graph neighborhoods across different questions.

Retrievable Gradients: Continual Post-Training Without Cumulative Weight Drift

arXiv:2606. 15734v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continual post-training enables models to absorb emerging knowledge after deployment, but repeatedly updating shared parameters can accumulate weight drift, potentially causing catastrophic forgetting and degrading general capabilities.
