CABLE: Extending the Reach of Memory Retrieval via Complementary Antecedent-Based Linking and Expansion
As LLM agents operate across structured workflows and sessions, preserving long-term history does not ensure that later contexts can recover relevant evidence through a bounded memory interface. We study this evidence-reachability problem in long-term conversational memory, where retrieval still relies heavily on semantic similarity. This works well for topical recall, but it often misses earlier experiences, plans, or motivations that are semantically distant from the later events they help explain. Existing memory graphs provide cross-memory structure, yet links driven mainly by semantic overlap can duplicate what the host retriever already recovers. We argue that link construction should instead prioritize a sparse set of retriever-complementary associations. We present CABLE (Complementary Antecedent-Based Linking and Expansion), a plug-in augmentation that constructs links designed to extend the host retriever's direct semantic reach. For each new memory, CABLE generates antecedent-oriented queries, retrieves prior memories, subtracts candidates in the direct semantic neighborhood, and verifies the remainder before adding the accepted complementary associations into a sparse directed graph. At retrieval time, CABLE expands the host system's retrieved seeds along these links to surface implicit supporting evidence. We evaluate CABLE with A-MEM on LoCoMo and MA-LongMemEval, and further integrate it into SimpleMem and Mem0g on LoCoMo, using Qwen3.5-27B, DeepSeek-chat, and GPT-4o-mini. CABLE yields higher mean LLM-judge scores in every evaluated system-level setting, with the largest gains in categories where useful evidence is distributed across memories or sessions, including open-domain, multi-session, and preference-oriented questions. These results support prioritizing sparse, reasoning-relevant associations that complement rather than duplicate the host retriever.

Mnemis: Dual-Route Retrieval on Hierarchical Graphs for Long-Term LLM Memory
AI Memory, specifically how models organizes and retrieves historical messages, becomes increasingly valuable to Large Language Models (LLMs), yet existing methods (RAG and Graph-RAG) primarily retrieve memory through si…
FIDES: Faithful Inference via Deep Evidence Signals for Retrieval-Memory Conflict in RAG
When retrieved evidence contradicts parametric memory, language models frequently ignore context and default to memorized priors -- a failure that undermines the core purpose of retrieval augmentation. Contrastive decodi…
Storage Is Not Memory: A Retrieval-Centered Architecture for Agent Recall
Extraction at ingestion is the wrong primitive for agent memory: content discarded before the query is known cannot be recovered at retrieval time. We propose True Memory, a six-layer architecture that shifts the center …
UniMem: Complementary Episodic-to-Parametric Memory for Boundary-Agnostic Task Streams
Memory is essential for LLM agents to accumulate task experience and reuse task-specific execution strategies. However, real-world deployment over boundary-agnostic and evolving task streams exposes a fundamental stabili…
EgoExoMem: Cross-View Memory Reasoning over Synchronized Egocentric and Exocentric Videos
Egocentric memory is widely used in embodied intelligence, but it may be insufficient for comprehensive spatial-temporal reasoning. Inspired by human recall from both field and observer perspectives, we introduce EgoExoM…
