They usually treat each task in isolation and rely on a fixed set of examples, so they adapt poorly when tasks or websites change. Agent Workflow Memory (AWM) addresses this by letting the agent build reusable routines ("workflows") from earlier trajectories.… ## All works 8 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[What Can Help Pedestrian Detection? ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2017.639) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Jiayuan Mao et al.*2017 · 302 citations* 2.
