AtomMem: Building Simple and Effective Memory System for LLM Agents via Atomic Facts

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

AtomMem is a long‑term memory system for large language models that stores high‑value atomic facts extracted from long‑form interactions. It organizes these facts into hierarchical event structures and temporal profiles, enabling coherent episodic context and dynamic tracking of user attributes. During retrieval, an associative memory graph connects fragmented memories, and experiments on the LoCoMo benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance across reasoning tasks.

Rethinking How to Remember: Beyond Atomic Facts in Lifelong LLM Agent Memory

The paper introduces TriMem, a memory system for lifelong LLM agents that stores raw dialogue segments, extracted atomic facts, and synthesized profiles to preserve detail, enable efficient retrieval, and support deep reasoning. It uses TextGrad-based prompt optimization to iteratively refine extraction and profiling prompts without updating model parameters. Experiments on LoCoMo and PerLTQA show TriMem outperforms strong memory baselines across multiple LLM backbones.

ROAM: Robust Organization of Atomic Memories for Agents through Semantic Relations

ROAM is a relation‑guided framework for managing atomic memories in long‑term language‑model agents. It classifies atom pairs as independent, equivalent, subsuming, or conflicting, then organizes observations into Primary and Evidence roles, fusing complementary details into compact views. Only Primary views are retrieved for answering, which reduces redundancy and improves answer accuracy by up to 29.8 percentage points across models and settings.

Evaluating Memory Structure in LLM Agents

The paper introduces StructMemEval, a benchmark designed to assess how well large language model (LLM) agents can organize their long‑term memory rather than merely recall facts. It compiles tasks that humans typically solve by structuring knowledge—such as transaction ledgers, to‑do lists, and trees—and evaluates agents on these. Experiments show that simple retrieval‑augmented LLMs struggle with such organization tasks, while memory‑augmented agents perform better when explicitly prompted to structure their memory, yet many modern LLMs still fail to recognize memory structures without prompting.
