AtomMem: Building Simple and Effective Memory System for LLM Agents via Atomic Facts

AtomMem is a long‑term memory system for large language models that stores high‑value atomic facts extracted from long‑form interactions. It organizes these facts into hierarchical event structures and temporal profiles, enabling coherent episodic context and dynamic tracking of user attributes. During retrieval, an associative memory graph connects fragmented memories, and experiments on the LoCoMo benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance across reasoning tasks.

EdgeMem: LLM-Free Agent Memory Construction and Retrieval via Evidence-Preserving Multi-Anchor Hypergraph

EdgeMem is a new agent-memory method that preserves original interaction turns and organizes them using complementary content, temporal, and episodic cues via a multi‑anchor hypergraph. It performs lightweight local processing, returning source evidence directly and reserving LLM use only for final answer generation. Experiments on LoCoMo and LongMemEval‑S demonstrate strong retrieval and memory‑grounded question answering, with EdgeMem achieving the highest strict‑judge score among seven systems on LoCoMo while requiring no generative‑LLM calls for construction and retrieval.
