DELTAMEM: Incremental Experience Memory for LLM Agents via Residual Trees
The paper introduces DeltaMem, a framework designed to enhance memory management in Large Language Model (LLM) agents. It organizes experiences into two residual trees to reduce redundancy and improve retrieval accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that DeltaMem outperforms existing memory management methods in various interactive environments.
- ▪DeltaMem organizes experience memory into two independent residual trees.
- ▪One tree stores goal-conditioned task experience while the other focuses on scene-level environment knowledge.
- ▪The framework allows related experiences to share a common foundation without duplication.

However, storing experiences as independent, flat units leads to substantial redundancy and retrieval conflicts, as similar episodes repeat overlapping content and subtle scene variations cause retrieved memories to offer contradictory guidance.
