DAEDALUS: Bootstrapping Agent Memory from Self-Generated Tasks

Read the original on arXiv AI →

DAEDALUS is a method that builds reusable memory for large‑language‑model agents by having an explorer agent generate self‑created tasks and a solver agent attempt them. When the solver fails, a heuristic is extracted and only accepted after repeated successful use, then added to a memory bank for future test‑time use. Experiments on AppWorld, τ²‑bench, and AutomationBench show that DAEDALUS raises mean success rates by up to 15.9 points and pass⁵ by up to 2.2× compared to a no‑memory baseline, while also providing a cost‑effective alternative to training‑task or oracle‑verifier approaches.

MemoryArena: Benchmarking Agent Memory in Interdependent Multi-Session Agentic Tasks

MemoryArena is a new evaluation gym that benchmarks agent memory in interdependent multi‑session tasks. Unlike prior benchmarks that test memorization or single‑session action in isolation, MemoryArena requires agents to acquire memory while interacting with the environment and then use that memory to guide future decisions across a range of tasks such as web navigation, planning, information search, and formal reasoning. The benchmark reveals that agents excelling on existing long‑context memory tests perform poorly here, highlighting a gap in current memory evaluation methods.

Improving Language Agents through BREW: Bootstrapping expeRientially-learned Environmental knoWledge

arXiv:2511. 20297v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents are increasingly capable of complex, multi-step tasks such as GUI automation, tool use, and data manipulation, yet they cannot learn from experience: each new session rediscovers solutions from scratch.

Hierarchical Experimentalist Agents

arXiv:2606. 29315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to take actions in the real world and support human decision-making, yet most agents rely on parametric knowledge, fixed post-training data, retrieval, or search.
