DeferMem: Query-Time Evidence Distillation via Reinforcement Learning for Long-Term Memory QA
Researchers have developed DeferMem, a new framework designed to improve question answering for large language model agents dealing with long-term conversational memory. This system separates the process into initial broad candidate retrieval and a subsequent query-conditioned evidence distillation phase. DeferMem utilizes a reinforcement learning algorithm called DistillPO to refine retrieved information into concise, relevant evidence, outperforming existing methods in accuracy and efficiency. AI
