Proactive Memory for Event-Driven LLM Agents

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Proactive Memory for Event-Driven LLM Agents introduces ProactMem, a system that organizes an agent’s history into recent events, temporal trajectories, and behavioral regularities. It validates trajectory facts against source events and assesses regularities through historical replay before matching them to current conditions. The authors also present ProactiveStream, a longitudinal benchmark with three application scopes, and report that ProactMem achieves an overall F1 of 52.6%, a 21.4% relative improvement over the strongest of five external baselines.

Prospective Memory for Proactive LLM Agents

arXiv:2611.05731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most memory systems for LLM agents are retrospective, preserving and retrieving past information to inform current decisions. Proactive agents, however...

Understanding and Mitigating Inference-Time Overreliance Using Agentic Memory

The paper investigates how large language model agents can over-rely on agentic memory, a phenomenon where retrieved memories distort inference even when they are correctly stored and retrieved. It shows that memory is helpful when past experience fully transfers to the current task but becomes misleading under partial query-memory overlap, a pattern confirmed by controlled experiments. To address this, the authors propose MEMTRIM, a plug‑and‑play framework that indexes memory evidence at write time and limits its reuse at read time, thereby reducing over-reliance without retraining and preserving useful memory benefits across models and memory architectures.
