From Passive Retrieval to Active Memory Navigation: Learning to Use Memory as a Structured Action Space

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 05794v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term user memory is essential for personalized conversational agents, yet many memory systems still expose memory through passive retrieval interfaces, making the model a consumer of pre-selected evidence.

Learning User-Aware Recall: Personalized Retrieval in Long-Term Conversational Memory

arXiv:2607. 00017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-term conversational agents are expected to remember past interactions, but memory is useful only when the right evidence is recalled for the right user.

Evaluating Memory in LLM Agents via Incremental Multi-Turn Interactions

arXiv:2507. 05257v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents primarily focus on evaluating reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities, while another critical component-memory, encompassing how agents memorize, update, and retrieve long-term information-is under-evaluated due to the lack of benchmarks.
