The paper introduces Direct Relational Set‑Risk Pruning (DRSR), a method for compressing the history of long‑horizon language‑model agents by selecting deletion sets based on risk constraints rather than independent unit scores. DRSR builds counterfactual supervision offline, then uses a lightweight scorer to predict set‑level harm during deployment, removing the largest safe set while respecting recency, protocol, and budget limits. Experiments on WorkBuddyBench Full260 and Eval40 show that DRSR improves mean reward from 0.699 to 0.802 and reduces token usage by over 20%, with further analyses highlighting the importance of decision‑conditioned relations, retained context, pair interactions, and abstention.

This paper introduces a deletion interface for a pretrained language model, measuring how effectively deleted records are removed from the model’s memory. By retrofitting a support‑vector memory gate into the global attention layers of a frozen Gemma 3, the authors show that deletions can be performed without altering weights and that the resulting state is close to a reference state that never stored the record. Experiments on 4B‑parameter models demonstrate low perplexity impact and strong evidence that deleted content is hard to recover, while larger or smaller models fail to achieve the same guarantees.
The paper introduces LRE (Learned Relevance Eviction), a lightweight, CPU‑only, language‑model‑free scorer that learns which parts of an agent’s interaction history are task‑critical and preserves them verbatim. In experiments, LRE matches or surpasses baseline eviction policies on accuracy‑cost trade‑offs, recovers 93% of full‑history accuracy, reduces worst‑case prompt size by 52%, and outperforms dense and token‑pruning encoders in conversational memory while being 295–1569× smaller. The method also achieves superior budgeted answer quality on LoCoMo reading and can be trained annotation‑free, recovering 95% of supervised scorer performance.
