Have I Scene This Before? Spatially Grounded Conversational Memory for Complex Queries in Egocentric Assistants

Jiazhou Liang, Liam Gallagher, Kiko Chen +4

Egocentric assistants must connect what users say with what they see across long interaction histories. We formalize this challenge as Spatially grounded Conversational Reasoning (…

Goal-Oriented Reasoning for RAG-based Memory in Conversational Agentic LLM Systems

Jiazhou Liang, Armin Toroghi, Yifan Simon Liu +3

LLM-based conversational AI agents struggle to maintain coherent behavior over long horizons due to limited context. While RAG-based approaches are increasingly adopted to overcome…

Temporal Order Matters for Agentic Memory: Segment Trees for Long-Horizon Agents

Yifan Simon Liu, Liam Gallagher, Faeze Moradi Kalarde +3

Long-horizon conversational agents need to interact with users through evolving events, tasks, and goals. Such histories are naturally temporal, yet many existing memory systems or…
