JustMem: Just-Enough Memory Access for Long-Term Conversations

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.19877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient long-term conversational memory requires retrieving sufficient evidence without indiscriminately expanding the context presented to the language model. This is challenging because relevant evidence may be distributed across multiple sessions, while compression may discard details needed for answering. Different queries therefore require different forms of memory access. To capture these demands, we formulate memory access along two dimens
