Profile-Graph Memory for LLM Agents: Implicit Cross-Entity Traversal through Narrative Profiles
First, we introduce MemHop, a multi-hop memory benchmark of 1,000 questions at hop depths 1-5 across 10 social-network scenarios, with per-hop evidence annotations. Third, a full-grid ablation shows cross-benchmark mechanism specialization: profile expansion drives multi-hop reasoning (-22.6pp on MemHop when removed) while compression residuals drive precision recall (-8.6pp on LoCoMo when not co-extracted), with cross-effects under 3pp within a single architecture. ProGraph averages 80.1% on MemHop (matching the FullContext reference) and 78.4% on LoCoMo (exceeding FullContext by 11.3pp), outperforming Mem0, A-Mem, HippoRAG, and RAG on both.

We make three contributions. First, we introduce MemHop, a multi-hop memory benchmark of 1,000 questions at hop depths 1-5 across 10 social-network scenarios, with per-hop evidence annotations.
