QUMem: Personalized Memory for Query-Conditioned User-State Inference in LLM Agents

Heng Wang, Yifei Li, Lingling Zhang +4

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly use external memory systems to support personalization by drawing on long and evolving interaction histories, in which user preferenc…

Self-Specialized Teachers for Domain Post-Training

Yifei Li, Rongman Xu, Lingling Zhang +5

Target-only post-training can improve performance in a specialized domain while degrading behaviors that a general-purpose base model acquired before adaptation. We study this prob…

Beyond Retrieval: Query-Conditioned Reuse of Long-Horizon Agent Trajectories

Yifei Li, Heng Wang, Lingling Zhang +5

Retrieval can identify a past trajectory that may matter, yet it does not specify how an acting agent should use that trajectory after users, entities, constraints, or environment…
