Survey: LLM Agent Memory Evolution
This arXiv survey proposes a three-stage evolutionary framework for LLM agent memory: Storage (trajectory preservation), Reflection (refinement), and Experience (abstraction). It analyzes drivers like long-range consistency, dynamic environments, and continual learning. It highlights proactive exploration and cross-trajectory abstraction in the advanced Experience stage.
State Rep & Termination for Recursive Reasoning
This paper proposes representing reasoning states in recursive systems as epistemic state graphs that encode claims, evidential relations, open questions, and confidence weights. It introduces the order-gap metricβthe distance between states from expand-then-consolidate vs. consolidate-then-expandβto signal when to terminate iteration. A main result provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the linearized order-gap to be informative near fixed points, with applications to agents, tree-of-thoughts, and more.
Spectral Tool Detects Hidden AI Coalitions
New method detects coalitions in multi-agent AI via mutual-information graphs from hidden states and spectral partitioning. Validated in MARL environments and LLMs, it uncovers structures before behavioral changes and outperforms scalar MI metrics. Offers scalable monitoring for emergent AI organizations.
