ReMem is a new recommendation agent framework that rethinks perception and memory for long-context recommendation tasks. It replaces raw HTML parsing with OCR-based multimodal perception from screenshots, extracting structured information in a platform-agnostic way. The framework also introduces a chunk-wise sequential memory update strategy and a multi-memory GRPO variant to efficiently model evolving user preferences over arbitrarily long interaction histories, achieving a 5.16% average improvement over state-of-the-art baselines on three recommendation agent tasks.

arXiv:2607. 23647v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can summarize heterogeneous user evidence in natural language, but current LLM recommenders often collapse enduring preferences, transient intent, and exposure-induced behavior into one profile.

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.

The paper introduces Just-in-Time Memory (JitMem), a system that defers memory curation until a task is read, allowing a curator to synthesize task‑specific memory payloads based on the current query. Unlike traditional write‑time curation, JitMem retains raw trajectories and trains the curator using immediate task success, avoiding long‑horizon credit‑assignment issues. Experiments on ALFWorld, WebShop, and τ²‑bench show JitMem consistently outperforms both no‑memory agents and existing write‑time memory methods, with improvements of up to 16.3 absolute success‑rate points.
whyItMatters":"By curating memory at read time, JitMem enables more effective, task‑adaptive recall that directly improves agent performance across diverse benchmarks."

The paper introduces Agent Evolving Learning (AEL), a two‑timescale framework that dynamically evolves an LLM agent’s memory‑retrieval harness in open‑ended environments. A fast Thompson‑Sampling bandit selects among retrieval policies each episode, while a slower LLM reflection diagnoses performance drops and injects new policies when the current set plateaus. AEL outperforms ten self‑improving and non‑LLM baselines on a sequential portfolio benchmark, boosting Sharpe ratio by 27% and achieving significant accuracy gains on a support‑ticket routing stream.

arXiv:2603. 29247v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based shopping agents increasingly rely on long purchase histories and multi-turn interactions for personalization, yet naively appending raw history to prompts is often ineffective due to noise, length, and relevance mismatch.

arXiv:2607. 20458v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents operating over extended dialogues accumulate vast amounts of information, yet existing memory systems either retain everything indiscriminately or apply uniform forgetting heuristics that fail to distinguish relevant from irrelevant knowledge.
