About this paper

Dongming Jiang, Yi Li, Bingzhe Li

Jev-Mem uses a lightweight controller to handle structured memory construction and retrieval decisions, while a language model reasons over selected evidence and writes answers. On LoCoMo, its reported overall LLM-as-a-Judge score is 0.777 versus MAGMA’s 0.700. It reports 158-second memory building and 0.93-second query latency, but no ablation isolates the controller’s contribution.

Key insights

  • Many memory operations require semantic judgments but not free-form language generation; replacing repeated LLM calls with bounded structured predictions can reduce overhead.
  • Preserving all valid observations while applying selectivity to relation construction and retrieval avoids irreversible information loss during ingestion.
  • Multi-relational graph traversal and adaptive stopping are designed to improve difficult multi-hop and adversarial queries while limiting irrelevant evidence and computation.
