arXiv:2606. 27499v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research on agent memory has matured rapidly, but almost entirely on the text side: few existing benchmarks ask, in an interactive environment, when an agent genuinely needs to remember what it saw rather than what it could write down.

Abstract: A personalized agent needs a user memory: a persistent model of who its user is. Today it is almost always text -- transcripts and captions retrieved...

arXiv:2511. 20196v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can inadvertently memorize privacy-sensitive information during training.

External memory effectively grounds large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)-based question answering (QA) in relevant multimodal evidence. However, existing memory paradigms represent each memory item in raw text and image forms, so retrieval-based systems must pass the retrieved text or images to the generation LLMs/VLMs, resulting in high token consumption and storage pressure, making it unaffordable for resource-constrained applications.
arXiv:2608. 08676v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic vision encoders have become a central visual interface for multimodal understanding and semantic conditioning in image generation.

Multimodal models often build on architectures designed for generative vision-language modeling, typically combining separately pretrained vision encoders with causal language models. Visual document...
