RuleMem: Active Rule Memory for Long-Term Conversational Agents

RuleMem is a rule-based memory framework designed for long-term conversational agents. It generates natural-language Horn clauses from dialogue histories and validates them with a Rule Perplexity Consistency mechanism, enabling active guidance of evidence retrieval and reasoning. In evaluations on LoCoMo and LongMemEval_s*, RuleMem outperformed 14 baselines, achieving the highest accuracy on LoCoMo with a 27.47‑point absolute gain (54.3% relative improvement).

UTILMEM: Benchmarking Evidence Utilization in Long-Term Conversational Memory

UTILMEM is a new diagnostic benchmark that tests how conversational agents use long‑term memory, focusing on reasoning over dense histories, spotting implicitly relevant memories, synthesizing distributed evidence, and resisting interference from similar distractors. It contains 1,717 instances across five domains and evaluates a range of retrieval‑based and memory‑augmented systems. The study shows that strong performance on traditional factual recall does not guarantee effective memory utilization, highlighting a gap between retrieving information and integrating it into coherent, task‑oriented outputs.

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.
