arXiv:2608. 16168v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferences may be distributed across time, change with context, and conflict with earlier evidence.

arXiv:2604. 05379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The sequential recommendation (SR) task aims to predict the next item based on users' historical interaction sequences.

arXiv:2605. 05285v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) often suffer from catastrophic forgetting in continual learning: after learning new tasks sequentially, they perform worse on earlier tasks.
