AMA: Adaptive Memory via Multi-Agent Collaboration
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.

When Users Don't Ask: Benchmarking Context-Driven Memory Retrieval in Conversational Agents
The paper introduces LOCOMO-CONV, a conversational memory benchmark that expands on the existing LoCoMo dataset with four query styles—dialog, implicit, counterfactual, and composed—designed to evaluate memory systems in realistic conversational settings. Experiments across five memory systems reveal that conversational framing uncovers significant retrieval gaps missed by traditional QA benchmarks, particularly for implicit and composed queries, and that strong retrieval does not necessarily translate into higher response quality. The study also highlights silent grounding in implicit queries, where memory enhances contextual grounding without explicitly presenting the gold fact, suggesting a need for reasoning-based memory elaboration.

AgenticRag-R1: Agentic Reinforcement Learning with Stack Memory for Multi-Step Reasoning, Retrieval and Memorizing
AgenticRag‑R1 is a reinforcement‑learning framework that integrates reasoning, retrieval, and memory through a stack and fine‑grained action space. It uses hierarchical action‑aware rewards and an information‑aware trajectory rejection strategy to support long‑horizon learning. Experiments on multi‑hop, open‑domain, and agentic reasoning benchmarks show that AgenticRag‑R1 outperforms strong baselines and produces robust, interpretable, memory‑aware reasoning behaviors.

GRASP: GRanularity-Aware Search Policy for Agentic RAG
Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends static RAG by allowing language models to iteratively reason, generate search queries, retrieve evidence, and predict answers. However, it remains challenging for models to decide when to retrieve, whether to use lexical matching or semantic similarity, and how to control context granularity to prevent irrelevant tokens from interfering with agent reasoning.

StateTree: Enhancing Long-Term Dialogue Reasoning via Reinforcement Learning
StateTree is a reinforcement learning approach that improves long‑term dialogue reasoning by building a tree‑structured auxiliary task from limited dialogue data. The method embeds key‑value records across multiple sessions into a binary tree, requiring the model to traverse from root to leaf, retrieve records, compare timestamps, and identify a target question among distractors. Curriculum RL training increases tree depth, and a compositional variant trains the model to combine partial reasoning fragments, enabling cross‑session retrieval, temporal reasoning, knowledge updates, and multi‑hop reasoning while generalizing from 10K‑token to 128K‑token contexts.
