1. **[In Prospect and Retrospect: Reflective Memory Management for Long-term Personalized Dialogue Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tan-2025-prospect-retrospect-reflective-memory-management/)** *(2025 · 46 citations)* LLM dialogue agents keep no state between sessions, so long-term personalization depends on external memory.
2. **[Contextualization Distillation from Large Language Model for Knowledge Graph Completion](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2024-contextualization-distillation-large-language-model/)** *(2024 · 30 citations)* Pre-trained language models (PLMs) used for knowledge graph completion (KGC) depend on textual side information, such as Wikipedia articles or synset definitions.
3. **[AnyMAC: Cascading Flexible Multi-Agent Collaboration via Next-Agent Prediction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-anymac-cascading-flexible-multi-agent/)** *(2025 · 10 citations)* LLM-based multi-agent systems usually link agents through fixed or learned graphs, often DAGs. These graphs allow each agent to be used only once per round and let agents see only their neighbours' messages. AnyMAC replaces the graph with a sequence. At each step, Next-Agent Prediction (NAP) picks which role to call…
4. **[Metacognitive Self-Correction for Multi-Agent System via Prototype-Guided Next-Execution Reconstruction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shen-2026-metacognitive-self-correction-multi-agent/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) are fragile: one agent's mistake can spread through the collaboration and derail the whole run.
