Title:Accurate and Efficient Long-Term Memory for LLM Agents

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:LLM agents augmented with persistent memory can recall past interactions, but existing systems suffer from two limitations: flat, unstructured storage loses relational context needed for multi-hop and temporal reasoning, and reliance on expensive LLM-based classification makes them impractical for latency-sensitive deployment. Without mechanisms to validate new information against stored knowledge, these systems silently accumulate contradictions. We present MOSAIC (Memory-Organized Structured Agent for Information Collection), a structured, conflict-aware long-term memory framework for LLM agents that is substantially more accurate and efficient. MOSAIC introduces three key capabilities: (1) entity-typed graph storage with semantic classification preserving relational structure across events, personas, and relationships, enabling multi-hop and temporal reasoning over conversation history; (2) hash-accelerated dual-path retrieval replacing LLM-based classification with locality-sensitive hashing, achieving near-instantaneous lookup with negligible accuracy loss; and (3) active conflict detection at save time that cross-references new information against existing graph neighbors, triggering updates or deletions for contradictory entries. Evaluated on LoCoMo (long-conversation QA), HaluMem, and a novel clinical-guideline error compounding test, MOSAIC achieves 89.35% accuracy on LoCoMo (+27.21 pp over the best baseline), best HaluMem-Medium extraction F1(86.77%) and HaluMem-Long extraction F1 (85.84%), best QA correctness on both Medium and Long (73.10%, 70.75%), and detects 66% of injected factual conflicts-4.7 times higher than the best baseline (14%)-while hash-accelerated retrieval keeps average search latency at 0.58 s per question.
