TL;DR

Experiments on long-horizon embodied and web-agent benchmarks show that MemPrism consistently improves the task performance, especially as trajectories become longer, while reducing memory token consumption.

Abstract

Long-horizon agents rely on memory to reuse experiences, yet existing memory systems often assume that evidence can be directly consumed through a fixed representation. This leads to representation mismatch, where relevant information is available but not organized for the current decision. To this end, we propose MemPrism, a task-conditioned relational memory framework that separates persistent experience storage from decision-time working memory. MemPrism records interactions as the event stream and dynamically constructs relational views according to the current task context. A lightweight view policy selects the relation structure, evidence range, outcome condition, and granularity, while a deterministic composer and render transform historical facts into a temporary optical working-memory view for a frozen task policy. Experiments on long-horizon embodied and web-agent benchmarks show that MemPrism consistently improves the task performance, especially as trajectories become longer, while reducing memory token consumption. Furthermore, the learned view policy transfers across different VLMs without additional adaptation, demonstrating the effectiveness of task-conditioned relational views as a general memory interface for agents.

MemArbiter: Decision-Time Memory Arbitration for Long-Horizon LLM Agents

Results show that function-aware memory arbitration enables accessible information to guide actions more effectively, and improves post-failure recovery and reduces failed-action repetition and state-action recurrence.

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

This work presents Memory as a Controlled Process (MemCon), a framework that models memory operations as a Markov Decision Process and learns an online policy that adaptively decides when, what, and how much to retrieve, when to inject a distilled plan, and when to consolidate or forget.

MRMS: A Multi-Resolution Memory Substrate for Long-Lived AI Agents

Long-lived AI agents require continuity across interactions, but continuity cannot be obtained by simply extending the prompt window. An agent must preserve useful prior experience, retrieve it selectively, distinguish personal context from external evidence, and revise memory when the underlying situation changes. We...

Harness the Memory: A Holistic Evaluation of Memory Substrates in Memory Agents

A controlled harness evaluation of memory substrates for memory-augmented agents, covering dense and sparse indices, text records, structural stores, hierarchical stores, refinement-based memories, parametric updates, and activation-compatible context mechanisms, shows that no single substrate consistently dominates.
