Goal-Directed Search Outperforms Goal-Agnostic Memory Compression in Long-Context Memory Tasks
Yicong Zheng, Kevin L. McKee, Thomas Miconi +3
How to enable human-like long-term memory in large language models (LLMs) has been a central question for unlocking more general capabilities such as few-shot generalization. Exist…

Thinking agents for zero-shot generalization to qualitatively novel tasks
Thomas Miconi, Kevin McKee, Yicong Zheng +1
Intelligent organisms can solve truly novel problems which they have never encountered before, either in their lifetime or their evolution. An important component of this capacity…
