The paper introduces token‑wise incremental trajectories, a method that tracks how contextual word embeddings evolve as each word is added to a sentence. Using garden‑path sentences, the authors show that these trajectories capture known processing disruptions and can distinguish ambiguous sentences from disambiguated controls. They propose metrics for measuring representational displacement and find that ambiguity signals are present not only in sentence‑level CLS vectors but also in individual token embeddings, suggesting distributed meaning construction across scales.

The paper introduces Temporal Semantic Memory (TSM), a framework that improves how large language model agents manage memory by addressing two key shortcomings: temporal inaccuracy and temporal fragmentation. TSM constructs a semantic timeline instead of a dialogue timeline, consolidating temporally continuous and semantically related information into durative memory. During retrieval, it aligns the query’s temporal intent with the semantic timeline, enabling the use of temporally appropriate durative memories and yielding up to a 12.2% accuracy boost over existing methods.
