arXiv:2608. 03463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory is essential for LLM-based agents to sustain interactions and reliably leverage distant history.
APDMem is a hierarchical long‑term memory system for personalized LLM assistants that uses progressive disclosure to retrieve conversation history. It organizes memory into four layers—thematic summaries, personalized key facts, turn‑level evidence notes, and raw messages—and a controller reads from the top layer, drilling down only when necessary. This approach balances cost and fidelity, allowing simple queries to finish early while deeper inspection is triggered for complex or exact‑evidence requests, and a note synthesizer structures retrieved evidence before answer generation. Experiments on LongMemEval show APDMem performs strongly while accessing only 8% of the total conversations.

JustMem is a new memory system for long‑term conversational AI that stores conversation history as compact atomic memories and adapts its access strategy to each query. It introduces two dimensions of memory access—discovery breadth and reading fidelity—implemented through LOOKUP for local evidence, COMPOSE for distributed evidence, and REPLAY for fidelity‑sensitive evidence. Experiments on LoCoMo and LongMemEval‑S show that JustMem outperforms competing memory systems in accuracy and recall while using fewer generative‑model tokens for memory construction and inference.
Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to operate over long-term interactions, where information from past dialogues must be preserved and recalled to support future tasks. However, as interactions accumulate, the memory store grows without bound and fills with redundant entries that inflate storage cost and degrade retrieval by crowding out the most useful evidence.
