IMPACT-CYCLE: A Contract-Based Multi-Agent System for Claim-Level Supervisory Correction of Long-Video Semantic Memory

Correcting errors in long-video understanding is disproportionately costly: existing multimodal pipelines produce opaque, end-to-end outputs that expose no intermediate state for inspection, forcing annotators to revisit raw video and reconstruct temporal logic from scratch. The core bottleneck is not generation quality alone, but the absence of a supervisory interface through which human effort can be proportional to the scope of each error. We present IMPACT-CYCLE, a supervisory multi-agent system that reformulates long-video understanding as iterative claim-level maintenance of a shared semantic memory -- a structured, versioned state encoding typed claims, a claim dependency graph, and a provenance log. Role-specialized agents operating under explicit authority contracts decompose verification into local object-relation correctness, cross-temporal consistency, and global semantic coherence, with corrections confined to structurally dependent claims. When automated evidence is insufficient, the system escalates to human arbitration as the supervisory authority with final override rights; dependency-closure re-verification then ensures correction cost remains proportional to error scope. Experiments on VidOR show substantially improved downstream reasoning (VQA: 0.71 to 0.79) and a 4.8x reduction in human arbitration cost, with workload significantly lower than manual annotation. Code will be released at https://github.com/MKong17/IMPACT_CYCLE.

From Recall to Forgetting: Benchmarking Long-Term Memory for Personalized Agents

Personalized agents that interact with users over long periods must maintain persistent memory across sessions and update it as circumstances change. However, existing benchmarks predominantly frame long-term memory evaluation as fact retrieval from past conversations, providing limited insight into agents' ability to consolidate memory over time or handle frequent knowledge updates. We introduce Memora, a long-term memory benchmark spanning weeks to months long user conversations. The benchmark evaluates three memory-grounded tasks: remembering, reasoning, and recommending. To ensure data quality, we employ automated memory-grounding checks and human evaluation. We further introduce Forgetting-Aware Memory Accuracy (FAMA), a metric that penalizes reliance on obsolete or invalidated memory when evaluating long-term memory. Evaluations of four LLMs and six memory agents reveal frequent reuse of invalid memories and failures to reconcile evolving memories. Memory agents offer marginal improvements, exposing shortcomings in long-term memory for personalized agents.

Enhancing Construction Worker Safety in Extreme Heat: A Machine Learning Approach Utilizing Wearable Technology for Predictive Health Analytics

Construction workers are highly vulnerable to heat stress, yet tools that translate real-time physiological data into actionable safety intelligence remain scarce. This study addresses this gap by developing and evaluating deep learning models, specifically a baseline Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network and an attention-based LSTM, to predict heat stress among 19 workers in Saudi Arabia. Using Garmin Vivosmart 5 smartwatches to monitor metrics such as heart rate, HRV, and oxygen saturation, the attention-based model outperformed the baseline, achieving 95.40% testing accuracy and significantly reducing false positives and negatives. With precision, recall, and F1 scores of 0.982, this approach not only improves predictive performance but also offers interpretable results suitable for integration into IoT-enabled safety systems and BIM dashboards, advancing proactive, informatics-driven safety management in the construction industry.

A novel LSTM music generator based on the fractional time-frequency feature extraction

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for generating music based on an artificial intelligence (AI) system. We analyze the features of music and use them to fit and predict the music. The fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) and the long short-term memory (LSTM) network are the foundations of our method. The FrFT method is used to extract the spectral features of a music piece, where the music signal is expressed on the time and frequency domains. The LSTM network is used to generate new music based on the extracted features, where we predict the music according to the hidden layer features and real-time inputs using GiantMIDI-Piano dataset. The results of our experiments show that our proposed system is capable of generating high-quality music that is comparable to human-generated music.

Visual Inception: Compromising Long-term Planning in Agentic Recommenders via Multimodal Memory Poisoning

The evolution from static ranking models to Agentic Recommender Systems (Agentic RecSys) empowers AI agents to maintain long-term user profiles and autonomously plan service tasks. While this paradigm shift enhances personalization, it introduces a vulnerability: reliance on Long-term Memory (LTM). In this paper, we uncover a threat termed "Visual Inception." Unlike traditional adversarial attacks that seek immediate misclassification, Visual Inception injects triggers into user-uploaded images (e.g., lifestyle photos) that act as "sleeper agents" within the system's memory. When retrieved during future planning, these poisoned memories hijack the agent's reasoning chain, steering it toward adversary-defined goals (e.g., promoting high-margin products) without prompt injection. To mitigate this, we propose CognitiveGuard, a dual-process defense framework inspired by human cognition. It consists of a System 1 Perceptual Sanitizer (diffusion-based purification) to cleanse sensory inputs and a System 2 Reasoning Verifier (counterfactual consistency checks) to detect anomalies in memory-driven planning. Extensive experiments on a mock e-commerce agent environment demonstrate that Visual Inception achieves about 85% Goal-Hit Rate (GHR), while CognitiveGuard reduces this risk to around 10% with configurable latency trade-offs (about 1.5s in lite mode to about 6.5s for full sequential verification), without quality degradation under our setup.

Federated Learning with Quantum Enhanced LSTM for Applications in High Energy Physics

Learning with large-scale datasets and information-critical applications, such as in High Energy Physics (HEP), demands highly complex, large-scale models that are both robust and accurate. To tackle this issue and cater to the learning requirements, we envision using a federated learning framework with a quantum-enhanced model. Specifically, we design a hybrid quantum-classical long-shot-term-memory model (QLSTM) for local training at distributed nodes. It combines the representative power of quantum models in understanding complex relationships within the feature space, and an LSTM-based model to learn necessary correlations across data points. Given the computing limitations and unprecedented cost of current stand-alone noisy-intermediate quantum (NISQ) devices, we propose to use a federated learning setup, where the learning load can be distributed to local servers as per design and data availability. We demonstrate the benefits of such a design on a classification task for the Supersymmetry(SUSY) dataset, having 5M rows. Our experiments indicate that the performance of this design is not only better that some of the existing work using variational quantum circuit (VQC) based quantum machine learning (QML) techniques, but is also comparable (Δ±1%Δ\sim \pm 1\%) to that of classical deep-learning benchmarks. An important observation from this study is that the designed framework has <<300 parameters and only needs 20K data points to give a comparable performance. Which also turns out to be a 100×\times improvement than the compared baseline models. This shows an improved learning capability of the proposed framework with minimal data and resource requirements, due to the joint model with an LSTM based architecture and a quantum enhanced VQC.

Long-Term Memory for VLA-based Agents in Open-World Task Execution

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have demonstrated significant potential for embodied decision-making; however, their application in complex chemical laboratory automation remains restricted by limited long-horizon reasoning and the absence of persistent experience accumulation. Existing frameworks typically treat planning and execution as decoupled processes, often failing to consolidate successful strategies, which results in inefficient trial-and-error in multi-stage protocols. In this paper, we propose ChemBot, a dual-layer, closed-loop framework that integrates an autonomous AI agent with a progress-aware VLA model (Skill-VLA) for hierarchical task decomposition and execution. ChemBot utilizes a dual-layer memory architecture to consolidate successful trajectories into retrievable assets, while a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server facilitates efficient sub-agent and tool orchestration. To address the inherent limitations of VLA models, we further implement a future-state-based asynchronous inference mechanism to mitigate trajectory discontinuities. Extensive experiments on collaborative robots demonstrate that ChemBot achieves superior operational safety, precision, and task success rates compared to existing VLA baselines in complex, long-horizon chemical experimentation.

CIG: Measuring Conversational Information Gain in Deliberative Dialogues with Semantic Memory Dynamics

Measuring the quality of public deliberation requires evaluating not only civility or argument structure, but also the informational progress of a conversation. We introduce a framework for Conversational Information Gain (CIG) that evaluates each utterance in terms of how it advances collective understanding of the target topic. To operationalize CIG, we model an evolving semantic memory of the discussion: the system extracts atomic claims from utterances and incrementally consolidates them into a structured memory state. Using this memory, we score each utterance along three interpretable dimensions: Novelty, Relevance, and Implication Scope. We annotate 80 segments from two moderated deliberative settings (TV debates and community discussions) with these dimensions and show that memory-derived dynamics (e.g., the number of claim updates) correlate more strongly with human-perceived CIG than traditional heuristics such as utterance length or TF--IDF. We develop effective LLM-based CIG predictors paving the way for information-focused conversation quality analysis in dialogues and deliberative success.

Assessing the Potential of Masked Autoencoder Foundation Models in Predicting Downhole Metrics from Surface Drilling Data

Oil and gas drilling operations generate extensive time-series data from surface sensors, yet accurate real-time prediction of critical downhole metrics remains challenging due to the scarcity of labelled downhole measurements. This systematic mapping study reviews thirteen papers published between 2015 and 2025 to assess the potential of Masked Autoencoder Foundation Models (MAEFMs) for predicting downhole metrics from surface drilling data. The review identifies eight commonly collected surface metrics and seven target downhole metrics. Current approaches predominantly employ neural network architectures such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, yet no studies have explored MAEFMs despite their demonstrated effectiveness in time-series modeling. MAEFMs offer distinct advantages through self-supervised pre-training on abundant unlabeled data, enabling multi-task prediction and improved generalization across wells. This research establishes that MAEFMs represent a technically feasible but unexplored opportunity for drilling analytics, recommending future empirical validation of their performance against existing models and exploration of their broader applicability in oil and gas operations.

StateLinFormer: Stateful Training Enhancing Long-term Memory in Navigation

Effective navigation intelligence relies on long-term memory to support both immediate generalization and sustained adaptation. However, existing approaches face a dilemma: modular systems rely on explicit mapping but lack flexibility, while Transformer-based end-to-end models are constrained by fixed context windows, limiting persistent memory across extended interactions. We introduce StateLinFormer, a linear-attention navigation model trained with a stateful memory mechanism that preserves recurrent memory states across consecutive training segments instead of reinitializing them at each batch boundary. This training paradigm effectively approximates learning on infinitely long sequences, enabling the model to achieve long-horizon memory retention. Experiments across both MAZE and ProcTHOR environments demonstrate that StateLinFormer significantly outperforms its stateless linear-attention counterpart and standard Transformer baselines with fixed context windows. Notably, as interaction length increases, persistent stateful training substantially improves context-dependent adaptation, suggesting an enhancement in the model's In-Context Learning (ICL) capabilities for navigation tasks.

TS-Haystack: A Multi-Task Retrieval Benchmark for Long-Context Time-Series Reasoning

Time Series Language Models (TSLMs) promise reasoning over real-world temporal data, but their ability to retrieve and reason over long time-series remains largely untested. We introduce TS-Haystack, a multi-domain retrieval benchmark with ten event-grounded question-answering tasks over contexts from 100 seconds to 24 hours, spanning direct retrieval, temporal reasoning, multi-step reasoning, and contextual anomaly detection. Existing TSLMs exhibit severe long-context degradation: accuracy declines with context length, direct-tokenization models run out of memory beyond 100 seconds on high-rate signals, and time-interval-grounded tasks collapse toward near-zero accuracy when increasing the time-series lengths, aligning with existing literature on text and multi-modal long context retrieval. An agentic retrieval framework using specialized time-series classifier tools matches or outperforms SoTA TSLMs on 9 of 10 tasks, highlighting agentic retrieval as a promising approach for long-context TSLMs.

AMA: Adaptive Memory via Multi-Agent Collaboration

The rapid evolution of Large Language Model (LLM) agents has necessitated robust memory systems to support cohesive long-term interaction and complex reasoning. Benefiting from the strong capabilities of LLMs, recent research focus has shifted from simple context extension to the development of dedicated agentic memory systems. However, existing approaches typically rely on rigid retrieval granularity, accumulation-heavy maintenance strategies, and coarse-grained update mechanisms. These design choices create a persistent mismatch between stored information and task-specific reasoning demands, while leading to the unchecked accumulation of logical inconsistencies over time. To address these challenges, we propose Adaptive Memory via Multi-Agent Collaboration (AMA), a novel framework that leverages coordinated agents to manage memory across multiple granularities. AMA employs a hierarchical memory design that dynamically aligns retrieval granularity with task complexity. Specifically, the Constructor and Retriever jointly enable multi-granularity memory construction and adaptive query routing. The Judge verifies the relevance and consistency of retrieved content, triggering iterative retrieval when evidence is insufficient or invoking the Refresher upon detecting logical conflicts. The Refresher then enforces memory consistency by performing targeted updates or removing outdated entries. Extensive experiments on challenging long-context benchmarks show that AMA significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines while reducing token consumption by approximately 80% compared to full-context methods, demonstrating its effectiveness in maintaining retrieval precision and long-term memory consistency.

Conditional Memory via Scalable Lookup: A New Axis of Sparsity for Large Language Models

While Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) scales capacity via conditional computation, Transformers lack a native primitive for knowledge lookup, forcing them to inefficiently simulate retrieval through computation. To address this, we introduce conditional memory as a complementary sparsity axis, instantiated via Engram, a module that modernizes classic NN-gram embedding for O(1) lookup. By formulating the Sparsity Allocation problem, we uncover a U-shaped scaling law that optimizes the trade-off between neural computation (MoE) and static memory (Engram). Guided by this law, we scale Engram to 27B parameters, achieving superior performance over a strictly iso-parameter and iso-FLOPs MoE baseline. Most notably, while the memory module is expected to aid knowledge retrieval (e.g., MMLU +3.4; CMMLU +4.0), we observe even larger gains in general reasoning (e.g., BBH +5.0; ARC-Challenge +3.7) and code/math domains~(HumanEval +3.0; MATH +2.4). Mechanistic analyses reveal that Engram relieves the backbone's early layers from static reconstruction, effectively deepening the network for complex reasoning. Furthermore, by delegating local dependencies to lookups, it frees up attention capacity for global context, substantially boosting long-context retrieval (e.g., Multi-Query NIAH: 84.2 to 97.0). Finally, Engram establishes infrastructure-aware efficiency: its deterministic addressing enables runtime prefetching from host memory, incurring negligible overhead. We envision conditional memory as an indispensable modeling primitive for next-generation sparse models.

MemBuilder: Reinforcing LLMs for Long-Term Memory Construction via Attributed Dense Rewards

Maintaining consistency in long-term dialogues remains a fundamental challenge for LLMs, as standard retrieval mechanisms often fail to capture the temporal evolution of historical states. While memory-augmented frameworks offer a structured alternative, current systems rely on static prompting of closed-source models or suffer from ineffective training paradigms with sparse rewards. We introduce MemBuilder, a reinforcement learning framework that trains models to orchestrate multi-dimensional memory construction with attributed dense rewards. MemBuilder addresses two key challenges: (1) Sparse Trajectory-Level Rewards: we employ synthetic session-level question generation to provide dense intermediate rewards across extended trajectories; and (2) Multi-Dimensional Memory Attribution: we introduce contribution-aware gradient weighting that scales policy updates based on each component's downstream impact. Experimental results show that MemBuilder enables a 4B-parameter model to outperform state-of-the-art closed-source baselines, exhibiting strong generalization across long-term dialogue benchmarks.

KAN vs LSTM Performance in Time Series Forecasting

This study presents a controlled comparison of baseline Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN), implemented via PyKAN, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks for the forecasting of stochastic, non-stationary financial time series. The two architectures are assessed in terms of predictive accuracy, computational efficiency, and interpretability, with accuracy measured by the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) in normalised feature space. Under a direct multi-output forecasting protocol, LSTM attains clearly superior accuracy across all tested prediction horizons, consistent with its well-established effectiveness for sequential data modelling. Baseline KAN, although offering theoretical interpretability through the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, exhibits substantially higher error rates and limited practical applicability for time series forecasting in its standard form. Several specialised temporal variants -- including Temporal KAN and Time-Frequency KAN -- have since been proposed to address these sequential modelling limitations, but they lie outside the scope of the present study. KAN is observed to converge faster during training under the configurations tested, although direct runtime comparisons are constrained by methodological factors. These findings support the adoption of LSTM for accuracy-critical financial forecasting and establish an empirical baseline for standard KAN on stochastic sequential data, motivating further investigation of temporally-aware KAN architectures. The study benchmarks baseline KAN against baseline LSTM only; the results do not extend to specialised KAN variants designed for sequential data, nor to the broader family of temporal models.

CHUCKLE -- When Humans Teach AI To Learn Emotions The Easy Way

Curriculum learning (CL) structures training from simple to complex samples, facilitating progressive learning. However, existing CL approaches for emotion recognition often rely on heuristic, data-driven, or model-based definitions of sample difficulty, neglecting the difficulty for human perception, a critical factor in subjective tasks like emotion recognition. We propose CHUCKLE (Crowdsourced Human Understanding Curriculum for Knowledge Led Emotion Recognition), a perception-driven CL framework that leverages annotator agreement and alignment in crowd-sourced datasets to define sample difficulty, under the assumption that clips challenging for humans are similarly hard for neural networks. Experimental results suggest that CHUCKLE enhances the performance of LSTMs and Transformers over non-curriculum baselines, while reducing the number of gradient updates, thereby enhancing both training efficiency and model robustness in both subject-dependent and subject-independent settings.

Multi-Class Human/Object Detection on Robot Manipulators using Proprioceptive Sensing

In physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC) settings, humans and robots collaborate directly in shared environments. Robots must analyze interactions with objects to ensure safety and facilitate meaningful workflows. One critical aspect is human/object detection, where the contacted object is identified. Past research introduced binary machine learning classifiers to distinguish between soft and hard objects. This study improves upon those results by evaluating three-class human/object detection models, offering more detailed contact analysis. A dataset was collected using the Franka Emika Panda robot manipulator, exploring preprocessing strategies for time-series analysis. Models including LSTM, GRU, and Transformers were trained on these datasets. The best-performing model achieved 91.11% accuracy during real-time testing, demonstrating the feasibility of multi-class detection models. Additionally, a comparison of preprocessing strategies suggests a sliding window approach is optimal for this task.

GenTL: A General Transfer Learning Model for Building Thermal Dynamics

Transfer Learning (TL) is an emerging field in modeling building thermal dynamics. This method reduces the data required for a data-driven model of a target building by leveraging knowledge from a source building. Consequently, it enables the creation of data-efficient models that can be used for advanced control and fault detection & diagnosis. A major limitation of the TL approach is its inconsistent performance across different sources. Although accurate source-building selection for a target is crucial, it remains a persistent challenge. We present GenTL, a general transfer learning model for single-family houses in Central Europe. GenTL can be efficiently fine-tuned to a large variety of target buildings. It is pretrained on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network with data from 450 different buildings. The general transfer learning model eliminates the need for source-building selection by serving as a universal source for fine-tuning. Comparative analysis with conventional single-source to single-target TL demonstrates the efficacy and reliability of the general pretraining approach. Testing GenTL on 144 target buildings for fine-tuning reveals an average prediction error (RMSE) reduction of 42.1 % compared to fine-tuning single-source models.

Enhancing Cognitive Workload Classification Using Integrated LSTM Layers and CNNs for fNIRS Data Analysis

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is employed as a non-invasive method to monitor functional brain activation by capturing changes in the concentrations of oxygenated haemoglobin (HbO) and deoxygenated haemo-globin (HbR). Various machine learning classification techniques have been utilized to distinguish cognitive states. However, conventional machine learning methods, although simpler to implement, undergo a complex pre-processing phase before network training and demonstrate reduced accuracy due to inadequate data preprocessing. Additionally, previous research in cog-nitive load assessment using fNIRS has predominantly focused on differ-sizeentiating between two levels of mental workload. These studies mainly aim to classify low and high levels of cognitive load or distinguish between easy and difficult tasks. To address these limitations associated with conven-tional methods, this paper conducts a comprehensive exploration of the im-pact of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers on the effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) within deep learning models. This is to address the issues related to spatial features overfitting and lack of tem-poral dependencies in CNN in the previous studies. By integrating LSTM layers, the model can capture temporal dependencies in the fNIRS data, al-lowing for a more comprehensive understanding of cognitive states. The primary objective is to assess how incorporating LSTM layers enhances the performance of CNNs. The experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate that the integration of LSTM layers with Convolutional layers results in an increase in the accuracy of deep learning models from 97.40% to 97.92%.

Narrative Feature or Structured Feature? A Study of Large Language Models to Identify Cancer Patients at Risk of Heart Failure

Cancer treatments are known to introduce cardiotoxicity, negatively impacting outcomes and survivorship. Identifying cancer patients at risk of heart failure (HF) is critical to improving cancer treatment outcomes and safety. This study examined machine learning (ML) models to identify cancer patients at risk of HF using electronic health records (EHRs), including traditional ML, Time-Aware long short-term memory (T-LSTM), and large language models (LLMs) using novel narrative features derived from the structured medical codes. We identified a cancer cohort of 12,806 patients from the University of Florida Health, diagnosed with lung, breast, and colorectal cancers, among which 1,602 individuals developed HF after cancer. The LLM, GatorTron-3.9B, achieved the best F1 scores, outperforming the traditional support vector machines by 39%, the T-LSTM deep learning model by 7%, and a widely used transformer model, BERT, by 5.6%. The analysis shows that the proposed narrative features remarkably increased feature density and improved performance.

ResNLS: An Improved Model for Stock Price Forecasting

Stock prices forecasting has always been a challenging task. Although many research projects try to address the problem, few of them pay attention to the varying degrees of dependencies between stock prices. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid model that improves the prediction of stock prices by emphasizing the dependencies between adjacent stock prices. The proposed model, ResNLS, is mainly composed of two neural architectures, ResNet and LSTM. ResNet serves as a feature extractor to identify dependencies between stock prices, while LSTM analyzes the initial time series data with the combination of dependencies, which are considered as residuals. Our experiment reveals that when the closing price data for the previous 5 consecutive trading days is used as input, the performance of the model (ResNLS-5) is optimal compared to those with other inputs. Furthermore, ResNLS-5 demonstrates at least a 20% improvement over current state-of-the-art baselines. To verify whether ResNLS-5 can help clients effectively avoid risks and earn profits in the stock market, we construct a quantitative trading framework for back testing. The result shows that the trading strategy based on ResNLS-5 predictions can successfully mitigate losses during declining stock prices and generate profits in periods of rising stock prices.

EventMemAgent: Hierarchical Event-Centric Memory for Online Video Understanding with Adaptive Tool Use

Online video understanding requires models to perform continuous perception and long-range reasoning within potentially infinite visual streams. Its fundamental challenge lies in the conflict between the unbounded nature of streaming media input and the limited context window of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). Current methods primarily rely on passive processing, which often face a trade-off between maintaining long-range context and capturing the fine-grained details necessary for complex tasks. To address this, we introduce EventMemAgent, an active online video agent framework based on a hierarchical memory module. Our framework employs a dual-layer strategy for online videos: short-term memory detects event boundaries and utilizes event-granular reservoir sampling to process streaming video frames within a fixed-length buffer dynamically; long-term memory structuredly archives past observations on an event-by-event basis. Furthermore, we integrate a multi-granular perception toolkit for active, iterative evidence capture and employ Agentic Reinforcement Learning (Agentic RL) to end-to-end internalize reasoning and tool-use strategies into the agent's intrinsic capabilities. Experiments show that EventMemAgent achieves competitive results on online video benchmarks. The code will be released here: https://github.com/lingcco/EventMemAgent.

Evaluating Memory Structure in LLM Agents

Modern LLM-based agents and chat assistants rely on long-term memory frameworks to store reusable knowledge, recall user preferences, and augment reasoning. As researchers create more complex memory architectures, it becomes increasingly difficult to analyze their capabilities and guide future memory designs. Most long-term memory benchmarks focus on simple fact retention, multi-hop recall, and time-based changes. While undoubtedly important, these capabilities can often be achieved with simple retrieval-augmented LLMs and do not test complex memory hierarchies. To bridge this gap, we propose StructMemEval - a benchmark that tests the agent's ability to organize its long-term memory, not just factual recall. We gather a suite of tasks that humans solve by organizing their knowledge in a specific structure: transaction ledgers, to-do lists, trees and others. Our initial experiments show that simple retrieval-augmented LLMs struggle with these tasks, whereas memory agents can reliably solve them if prompted how to organize their memory. However, we also find that modern LLMs do not always recognize the memory structure when not prompted to do so. This highlights an important direction for future improvements in both LLM training and memory frameworks.

StreamTTT: Reconciling Real-Time Perception and Long-Term Memory in Streaming VLMs

Humans effortlessly perceive the present while remembering the past, yet streaming VLMs often trade off real-time perception against long-term memory. Prior work shows that shortening the context can sharpen current-scene perception at the expense of long-range recall. To reconcile these abilities, we introduce StreamTTT, which writes long-range history into online-updated fast weights outside the attention context. This leaves a short sliding key-value cache dedicated to recent evidence, mitigating attention dilution. We train StreamTTT jointly on offline long-video QA and a newly constructed real-time QA corpus. On OVO-Bench, under each model's reported input protocol, StreamTTT-4B outperforms the same-scale SimpleStream-4B by 0.6 points in real-time perception and 5.3 points in backward tracing. It also surpasses the larger SimpleStream-8B by 0.73 points on StreamingBench's Real-Time Visual Understanding (RTVU) subset. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/zeyun-zhong/StreamTTT.

SimSkill: A Self-Evolving LLM Agent for Skill and Knowledge Accumulation in Traffic Simulation

Cumulative culture enables humans to preserve, reuse, and extend knowledge and skills across experiences and generations. Inspired by this principle, we introduce \textit{SimSkill}, a self-evolving agent built around the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) traffic simulator. SimSkill continually identifies capability gaps, generates and solves environment-grounded tasks, verifies solutions through an action--critic loop, and consolidates experience into episodic, procedural, and semantic memory. Through autonomous exploration, it builds a library of reusable skills and knowledge spanning major stages of the traffic-simulation workflow. We evaluate SimSkill on two held-out benchmarks across three backbone LLMs, with each result independently verified. It improves verified success by up to 25 percentage points, and ablations show complementary contributions from procedural and semantic memory. Its benefits remain backbone- and budget-dependent, as memory does not improve every model or uniformly reduce inference cost. More broadly, SimSkill illustrates a natural-language-centered design paradigm for LLM-based agent systems. Its high-level control logic, operating principles, and accumulated knowledge are expressed in natural language, while an LLM integrates them with executable tools and code to realize precise and reproducible execution. All code and experimental data are publicly available at https://github.com/qiliuchn/SimSkill-V1.
