TEM: Temporal State Tracking Memory for Large Language Model Agents

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces Temporal State Tracking Memory (TEM), a training‑free framework that stores facts as versioned records linked to their sources and retrieves the relevant versions in source order, labeling historical records before passing them to the answer model. TEM incorporates event memory and original dialogue turns to fill gaps in structured facts. Evaluations on 420 questions from 600 sessions with 60 personas show high key‑entity hit rates (75.71–97.62%) and significant improvements when historical labels are added, while keeping evidence compact (94–118 tokens per answer).

What Should an Agent Forget? Separating What Is Stored from What Is Used

The paper introduces RD-Forget, a training‑free framework that separates what a persistent language agent stores from what it uses at answer time. It keeps a source archive of all observations while a query‑conditioned memory view filters evidence relevant to the current question, using a frozen language‑model curator to group facts into semantic slots and preserve multi‑hop relations. The approach employs rate‑distortion principles to stay within a memory budget and demonstrates improvements across conversational memory, knowledge updating, fact consolidation, long‑context reasoning, and personalization tasks.

TrajWiki: Source-Grounded Memory Trajectories for Long-Horizon Dialogue Agents

Large language model agents have shown strong capabilities in generating coherent and contextually appropriate responses, yet robust long-horizon dialogue remains limited by the lack of external memory that is traceable, updatable, and diagnostically transparent. Existing memory-augmented agents often store memories as isolated records or overwritable states, making it difficult to preserve how information originates, evolves, conflicts, or becomes obsolete over time.

Agent Zero Memory: Provenance-Aware Long-Term Memory for LLM Agents

Agent Zero Memory is a provenance‑aware long‑term memory system for large language model agents that distills user interactions into three parallel memory structures: an episodic timeline, an associative entity‑event knowledge graph, and a semantic, citation‑locked hierarchical documentary memory. Retrieval is performed via an intent gate, source router, and concurrent searches across the three systems, producing integrated, cited answers that exclude fabrication and require evidence the reader has opened. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on LongMemEval (95.60%) and LoCoMo (93.60%) while offering a favorable accuracy‑cost‑latency trade‑off across multiple backbone LLMs.
