arXiv:2607. 05577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-form fiction writers need memory that answers multi-hop questions about evolving story state: who knows a secret and when they learned it, whether an event preceded the narration that revealed it, whether a setup paid off, and how a relationship shifted.
arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.
NS-ST-GraphRAG is a neuro‑symbolic spatio‑temporal GraphRAG framework designed to process long‑form literary narratives by integrating ontology‑guided extraction, deterministic constraint checking, dual temporal coordinates, spatial scene attributes, and dynamic sub‑graph retrieval. It selects the appropriate graph state based on the temporal and spatial scope of a query, grounding generated answers in traceable evidence. The authors also introduce Red‑Chamber‑QA, an open multi‑hop question‑answering benchmark for classical Chinese literature, and report that NS‑ST‑GraphRAG outperforms a frozen‑window baseline and a closed‑book model on a held‑out 120‑question split.

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.
Agent Zero Memory is a provenance‑aware long‑term memory system for large language model agents that distills user interactions into three parallel memory structures: an episodic timeline, an associative entity‑event knowledge graph, and a semantic, citation‑locked hierarchical documentary memory. Retrieval is performed via an intent gate, source router, and concurrent searches across the three systems, producing integrated, cited answers that exclude fabrication and require evidence the reader has opened. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LongMemEval (95.60%) and LoCoMo (93.60%) while offering a favorable accuracy‑cost‑latency trade‑off across multiple backbone LLMs.
The paper presents a detailed examination of narrative elements—agency, setting, and events—within the Dolma web-scale pretraining corpus. Using a framework of 11 interpretable dimensions, the authors hand‑annotated 400 passages, expanded this to a 25,000‑passage LLM‑labeled dataset, and trained NarraBERT models to predict narrative features across 13 million passages, producing the NarraDolma dataset. The study reveals that narrative structure is measurable at scale and that narrative qualities vary unevenly across different data sources, topics, and formats, highlighting gaps in current data curation practices.

AI systems increasingly need to combine two demanding capabilities: navigating multi-session conversation history and performing deep reading comprehension within long documents. Yet no existing benchmark evaluates both simultaneously.
arXiv:2605. 28831v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Long-horizon memory question answering often requires sparse evidence from heterogeneous histories, including events, object states, visual observations, temporal relations, and causal steps.

arXiv:2607. 19359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for LLM agents that interact across sessions, yet current memory benchmarks primarily evaluate single-hop recall, leaving multi-hop association largely unmeasured.
arXiv:2606. 17391v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form serialized audio drama, with arcs that run for 200 to 800 episodes, is a major creative medium and a setting where frontier large language models (LLMs) fail.
