Weighted Memory Tree: Remembering What Matters for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

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.

CAMeR: Keyword-Gated Hybrid Activation for Adaptive Memory Retention in LLM Agents

arXiv:2607. 20458v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents operating over extended dialogues accumulate vast amounts of information, yet existing memory systems either retain everything indiscriminately or apply uniform forgetting heuristics that fail to distinguish relevant from irrelevant knowledge.

Evaluating Memory in LLM Agents via Incremental Multi-Turn Interactions

arXiv:2507. 05257v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent benchmarks for Large Language Model (LLM) agents primarily focus on evaluating reasoning, planning, and execution capabilities, while another critical component-memory, encompassing how agents memorize, update, and retrieve long-term information-is under-evaluated due to the lack of benchmarks.

Memory as a Controlled Process: Learned Adaptive Memory Management for LLM Agents

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.

Organize then Retrieve: Hierarchical Memory Navigation for Efficient Agents

arXiv:2606. 11680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their inherent statelessness, requiring all task-relevant information to be encoded in growing input contexts.
