Graph memory keeps continual LLM adaptation efficient as experience accumulates

GraphMemory retrieves small, relevant clusters of reusable strategies instead of placing an agent’s entire accumulated memory into every prompt.

Farhat, Desmond and Kyrillidis present GraphMemory, an external memory that lets frozen language models learn from successive interactions without updating model weights.

The authors formulate context adaptation as an optimization problem in which an agent updates textual memory across examples.

Why this paper

From IBM Research and Rice University

In one line

GraphMemory stores reusable strategies as a graph and retrieves only relevant subgraphs, keeping memory-context length constant and reducing token usage.
