The paper introduces QEMem, a framework that rethinks how large language model agents use long‑term memory by constructing query‑specific evidence sets rather than relying on individual memory relevance. QEMem combines query‑guided discovery, source‑grounded reification into structured ViewCards, and sufficiency‑guided refinement to assemble comprehensive evidence from multiple memory granularities. Experiments show that QEMem achieves 91.43% LLM‑judge accuracy on LoCoMo with Claude Opus 4.5, surpassing leading baselines by significant margins and improving evidence coverage for cross‑session queries.
arXiv:2608. 19701v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term multi-agent systems continuously accumulate the memories produced by different agents.
UTILMEM is a new diagnostic benchmark that tests how conversational agents use long‑term memory, focusing on reasoning over dense histories, spotting implicitly relevant memories, synthesizing distributed evidence, and resisting interference from similar distractors. It contains 1,717 instances across five domains and evaluates a range of retrieval‑based and memory‑augmented systems. The study shows that strong performance on traditional factual recall does not guarantee effective memory utilization, highlighting a gap between retrieving information and integrating it into coherent, task‑oriented outputs.
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.
The paper introduces LatentStream, a progressive latent working memory framework for streaming video understanding that replaces the traditional store‑and‑retrieve paradigm with a retrieve‑and‑internalize approach. It organizes visual history into short, mid, and long‑term levels using Jenks‑guided adaptive consolidation, then expands memory receptive fields to iteratively retrieve and internalize evidence into a compact latent memory. A confidence‑guided optimization further refines this memory, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on online and offline video benchmarks.
