A-MAC scores candidate memories using Utility, Confidence, Novelty, Recency, and Type Prior combined by a learned linear admission policy with Algorithm 1 A-MAC Memory Admission. On the LoCoMo benchmark, A-MAC achieves F1 0.583 and 2644 ms latency, improving F1 by 0.042 and reducing latency by 1187 ms compared to A-mem.

AgentMemBench: A Systematic Benchmark for Evaluating Long-Term Memory Management Strategies in Conversational AI Agents

arXiv 2026 · 2026

AgentMemBench wires five strategies—In-Context Windowing (ICW), External Key-Value Store (EKV), Graph-Based Episodic Memory (GEM), Compression-Based Summarisation (CBS), and Web-Augmented Memory (WAM)—into a shared Store Read Generate interface over multi-session dialogues. AgentMemBench’s main result is that EKV achieves macro Recall@5 0.792 on LoCoMo, MultiDoc2Dial, and MSC, a +0.324 gain over ICW’s 0.468, while also leading MRR, Answer F1, and Faithfulness.
