SF-AMS: Strategic Forgetting for Structured Memory in LLM Agent

Abstract

arXiv:2607.22562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Managing long-context dependencies remains a primary bottleneck in LLM agents, as redundant and irrelevant information can degrade multi-step reasoning. Strategic Forgetting for Agent Memory Systems (SF-AMS) is proposed as a framework for maintaining compact high-utility memory by modeling the long-term importance of memory units. SF-AMS replaces static retrieval and heuristic decay with a utility-driven survival mechanism that updates memory impor
