arXiv:2608. 12720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on long-term memory for persistent interactions, the retrieval mechanisms governing this memory are rarely treated as evolvable components.
The paper introduces the Unified Memory Agent (UMA), a system that builds a query‑agnostic external memory from a data stream and reuses it across multiple question‑answering sessions. UMA employs a single policy to manage a structured Memory Bank via CRUD operations and uses Task‑Stratified GRPO to supervise memory maintenance based on QA trajectory rewards. The authors also present Ledger‑QA, a benchmark for long‑horizon state tracking, and demonstrate that UMA outperforms other methods on test‑time learning and accurate‑retrieval tasks, with UMA‑Specialist further improving performance after task adaptation.
arXiv:2607. 22690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory lets LLM agents reuse past interactions, but raw dialogue histories are verbose and information-sparse.
The paper introduces BRIDGE, a bilevel optimization framework that jointly trains a large language model (LLM) and a retriever for agentic reinforcement learning (ARL). It demonstrates that adapting the retriever before the policy yields better rewards, and that BRIDGE outperforms existing methods on seven open‑domain QA benchmarks and medical QA tasks, achieving significant gains in accuracy and reasoning quality.
DynaKRAG is a unified framework that learns a state‑conditioned policy to control evidence acquisition in multi‑hop retrieval‑augmented generation. It uses a deterministic validity layer to build an action set, a learned continuation gate to decide between generating an answer or gathering more evidence, and an advantage scorer to rank evidence operations by predicted gain. Across HotpotQA, 2Wiki, and MuSiQue with various backbone models, DynaKRAG achieves top EM and F1 scores, improves token and retrieval efficiency, and enables terminal evidence compression that reduces context size while boosting answer quality.

arXiv:2608. 10108v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon agents accumulate trajectories spanning hundreds of interleaved reasoning, action, and observation steps, where answering a query may depend on evidence buried far back in the history.
Retrieval-augmented generation improves knowledge-intensive question answering, but indiscriminate retrieval can introduce irrelevant evidence and unnecessary computation. We investigate whether verbalized confidence from black-box language models can serve as an actionable signal for retrieval routing.
arXiv:2606. 02373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Search agents are often trained as policies over growing transcripts: the model must decide how to search while also remembering what it has seen, which evidence is useful, which constraints remain open, and which claims have actually been checked.
