Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external memory systems to accumulate experience across tasks. Yet nearly all existing approaches, from graph-structured memories to reflective insight stores, access memory through fixed, hand-designed heuristics.
The paper introduces the Weighted Memory Tree (WMT), a hierarchical memory system for large language model agents that organizes execution histories into tasks, subtasks, and actions while assigning each memory a dynamic retention score. Event-based updates and selection-based decay allow WMT to preserve useful information, fold completed trajectories, suppress low-utility content, and retain access to folded context. Experiments on GAIA-Text with Qwen3-8B, Gemma 4 E4B, and Llama-3.1-8B show that WMT improves accuracy by an average of 9.97 percentage points and reduces prompt-token usage by 32.8%, while also limiting the persistence of unreliable information.

MemMA is a plug‑and‑play multi‑agent framework that coordinates the memory cycle of memory‑augmented LLM agents on both forward and backward paths. On the forward path, a Meta‑Thinker guides a Memory Manager for construction and a Query Reasoner for iterative retrieval. On the backward path, MemMA performs in‑situ self‑evolving memory construction, generating probe QA pairs, verifying the memory, and converting failures into repair actions before finalization. Experiments on LoCoMo show that MemMA consistently outperforms existing baselines across multiple LLM backbones and improves three different storage backends.

The paper introduces StructMemEval, a benchmark designed to assess how well large language model (LLM) agents can organize their long‑term memory rather than merely recall facts. It compiles tasks that humans typically solve by structuring knowledge—such as transaction ledgers, to‑do lists, and trees—and evaluates agents on these. Experiments show that simple retrieval‑augmented LLMs struggle with such organization tasks, while memory‑augmented agents perform better when explicitly prompted to structure their memory, yet many modern LLMs still fail to recognize memory structures without prompting.
