Systems that add an external memory bank usually depend on fixed heuristics or prompted LLMs to choose what to store and retrieve, and nothing in that choice is trained against answer correctness. Memory-R1 addresses this with reinforcement learning… 2. **[Self-Evolving Multi-Agent Systems via Textual Backpropagation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2026-self-evolving-multi-agent-systems/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* Building multi-agent LLM systems usually means hand-crafting prompts, roles and topologies by trial and error. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hinrich Schuetze](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hinrich-schuetze/) ×2 - [Jinhe Bi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinhe-bi/) ×2 - [Volker Tresp](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/volker-tresp/) ×2 - [Xiaowen Ma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaowen-ma/) ×2 - [Ercong Nie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ercong-nie/) - [Jeff Z.
