Agent Zero Memory: Provenance-Aware Long-Term Memory for LLM Agents

Large language model (LLM) agents need durable, faithful memory of everything a user or organization has said and stored, yet most memory systems commit to a single organizing structure (a fact store, a vector index, or a knowledge graph) and inherit its blind spots. We present Agent Zero Memory, a provenance-aware long-term memory system that distils a user's conversations, files, and connected sources into three parallel memory systems, each capturing a different facet of the same history: an episodic Memory Events timeline that makes when and what changed first-class, an associative entity-event knowledge graph that links people and projects across sessions, and a semantic, curated, citation-locked Hierarchical Documentary Memory (HDM) of durable facts. A retrieval turn runs an intent gate (so self-contained turns add no latency), a source router, and three concurrent agentic searches, one per system, each a tool-using loop over hybrid (embedding + lexical) search under agent-controlled filters; their grounded, cited answers are integrated into one answer with a single confidence. We formalize the reading discipline: every learned item is a provenanced item carrying its origin, timestamp, and evidence pointer, and every answer is read under a citation lock, so it may cite only evidence its reader actually opened; fabrication is structurally excluded and the system abstains rather than guesses. On two public benchmarks the system sets a new state of the art: 95.60% on LongMemEval and 93.60% on LoCoMo, improving over the strongest prior systems by +0.73 and +1.10 points. A controlled study across eight backbone LLMs characterizes the accuracy-cost-latency frontier: accuracy varies by only 3.4 points while per-query cost varies by ~30x, with near-state-of-the-art quality at up to 20x lower cost per query, the signature of memory-driven, rather than model-driven, quality.

IKNO: Infinite-order Kernel Neural Operators

Neural operators have achieved significant success in modern scientific computing due to their flexibility and strong generalization capabilities. Existing models, however, primarily rely on first-order kernel integral approximations, which severely limit their expressivity. To address this, we propose the Infinite-order Kernel Neural Operator (IKNO), which constructs neural operators via infinite-order kernel integrals and admits an elegant closed-form finite approximation. We develop two complementary infinite-order neural operator constructions: IKNO-Vanilla, which applies the full-kernel resolvent on the product grid via Kronecker eigendecomposition, and IKNO-TP, an alternative tensor-product operator that composes per-axis resolvents. Furthermore, we develop fast computation schemes for both variants of IKNO, which achieve outstanding global information aggregation while maintaining high computational efficiency. Empirically, we evaluate our IKNO on both time-dependent and time-independent benchmarks with arbitrary input shapes, including large-scale industrial datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the IKNO method consistently achieves the SOTA accuracy with significant improvements on nearly all benchmark datasets while maintaining scalability to very large point clouds.

DPIC: Decoupling Prompt and Intrinsic Characteristics for LLM Generated Text Detection

Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to generate texts that pose risks of misuse, such as plagiarism, planting fake reviews on e-commerce platforms, or creating inflammatory false tweets. Consequently, detecting whether a text is generated by LLMs has become increasingly important. Existing high-quality detection methods usually require access to the interior of the model to extract the intrinsic characteristics. However, since we do not have access to the interior of the black-box model, we must resort to surrogate models, which impacts detection quality. In order to achieve high-quality detection of black-box models, we would like to extract deep intrinsic characteristics of the black-box model generated texts. We view the generation process as a coupled process of prompt and intrinsic characteristics of the generative model. Based on this insight, we propose to decouple prompt and intrinsic characteristics (DPIC) for LLM-generated text detection method. Specifically, given a candidate text, DPIC employs an auxiliary LLM to reconstruct the prompt corresponding to the candidate text, then uses the prompt to regenerate text by the auxiliary LLM, which makes the candidate text and the regenerated text align with their prompts, respectively. Then, the similarity between the candidate text and the regenerated text is used as a detection feature, thus eliminating the prompt in the detection process, which allows the detector to focus on the intrinsic characteristics of the generative model. Compared to the baselines, DPIC has achieved an average improvement of 6.76\% and 2.91\% in detecting texts from different domains generated by GPT4 and Claude3, respectively.
