Entity-Memory Graph Retrieval Improves Evidence Coverage in Long-Conversation Question Answering

Entity-Memory graph retrieval preserves dialogue turns as verbatim memory nodes, links repeated mentions via shared entities, and connects adjacent memories with chronological edges. During retrieval, the system gates through entities, fuses semantics, and performs one‑hop chronological recovery before dense backfill, allowing it to keep neighboring memories that dense cosine ranking might miss. On 1,986 questions from ten LoCoMo conversations, this graph retrieval method increases official evidence recall at top‑k 25 from 79.7468 % to 84.4842 %, with the advantage extending from top‑k 5 to 50, though it does not improve overall final‑answer F1.

TEMPS: Temporal Sentence Embeddings for Temporal Information Retrieval

The paper introduces TEMPS, a modular temporal branch that enhances semantic retrievers by adding a temporal scoring component. TEMPS resolves anchored temporal expressions into intervals, matches them to Gaussian distributions, and trains an anchor-date-conditioned encoder using grounding supervision without hand‑labeled data. On three temporal benchmarks, TEMPS improves MRR across all tested backbones and raises R@1 from 19.92 to 25.39 on the TS‑Retriever, surpassing prior temporal state‑of‑the‑art methods.
