TL;DR
DynaGraph-LLM is introduced, a novel neuro-symbolic architecture that endows LLMs with a dynamic, persistent, and structured memory and implements a Dual-Phase Memory Consolidation process, inspired by hippocampal-neocortical interactions in the human brain, to refine and abstract knowledge over time.
MulTR, a comprehensive benchmark designed for multi-answer temporal reasoning from long unstructured contexts, is introduced, designed to systematically decouple temporal reasoning capabilities from the uncertainty of the number of answers.
The ability to handle long-term memory in LLMs is becoming increasingly critical, yet existing benchmarks remain English-centric and rely on aggregate retrieval metrics, failing to capture interactions between long-range context, temporal information, and reasoning. To address this, we introduce RUMBA (Russian User Memory BenchmArk) - a new benchmark for long-term conversational memory that provides a fine-grained taxonomy of memory-centric question types and a unified methodology accounting for semantic type, session scope, temporal reasoning, and the explicitness of temporal expressions. RUMBA consists of timestamped user-assistant dialogues with QA pairs requiring retrieval, combination, and reasoning across sessions. While designed for Russian, we also provide an aligned English subset under the same methodology. We evaluate contemporary memory systems and long-context models, and show how RUMBA serves as a diagnostic tool to analyze model behavior across benchmark slices and identify strengths and failure modes of different memory mechanisms.
TrajWiki is proposed, a trajectory-based memory framework for long-horizon conversational agents that improves long-horizon dialogue performance across both open-source and closed-source LLM backbones, while providing greater interpretability and diagnostic visibility into memory evolution, retrieval failures, and answer generation.
A novel framework, \textit{GAMER}~(Graph-based Action-centric Memory with Episodic Reasoning), that bridges the gap between inference scaling and episodic memory by decoupling the memory mechanism from LLMs.
Long-horizon LLM agents must preserve information from past interactions to support future tasks. Existing memory systems typically rely on eager consolidation, invoking LLMs after each interaction to extract, summarize, or update memories. This design makes memory construction increasingly costly as conversations grow. Coarse summarization can reduce construction cost but risks discarding fine-grained contextual evidence, whereas larger retrieval contexts or multi-hop LLM reasoning shift the overhead to query time. We present LycheeMemory V2, an efficient long-term memory framework that replaces turn-level consolidation with semantic segment-level consolidation. Instead of consolidating every interaction, LycheeMemory batches multiple exchanges into segments and encodes each finalized segment into context-independent typed memory records. Segment-level batching lowers LLM encoding frequency, while semantic boundary detection helps preserve coherent event-level and temporal evidence compared with fixed-window batching. The resulting records are organized with lightweight structured indexes for query-planned evidence retrieval. Experiments using GPT-4.1-Mini show that LycheeMemory achieves state-of-the-art performance, reaching 89.22% on LoCoMo and 92.20% on LongMemEval-S. Compared with A-Mem, it reduces construction tokens by 86.0% on LoCoMo and 75.9% on LongMemEval-S without increasing query-time token usage. More broadly, our results suggest that the accuracy--cost trade-off of long-term agent memory depends not only on what information is retained, but also on the granularity at which it is consolidated.
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in knowledge acquisition and reasoning, yet their ability to retain previously acquired knowledge under repeated updates remains insufficiently understood. Existing evaluation paradigms primarily focus on single-step reasoning or static knowledge editing, which fail to capture the temporal dynamics of knowledge retention and degradation during continual model modification. In this work, we propose ForgetBench, a benchmark designed to systematically characterize forgetting behavior in LLMs under continual knowledge editing. ForgetBench introduces two complementary evaluation paradigms, namely concept-based QA and scenario-based QA, to disentangle isolated factual retention from structured relational knowledge preservation. Building upon a sequential editing framework, we construct temporally ordered knowledge streams and evaluate model behavior across multiple editing stages. To quantitatively analyze long-term retention dynamics, we further introduce a unified evaluation framework that models knowledge evolution over time, enabling the measurement of temporal decay, retention strength, and cross-instance stability. Extensive experiments across diverse models and editing methods demonstrate that existing approaches fail to strike a balance between long-term retention and generalization quality. Our findings highlight the need for more robust memory mechanisms that can effectively acquire, update, and preserve knowledge over time in future LLMs. Code will be released upon acceptance.
