Most current memory systems, however, put everything into one store and fetch items by embedding similarity. As a result, time order, cause-and-effect links and entity identity get mixed together, and retrieval often… 2. **[From Test-taking to Cognitive Scaffolding: A Pedagogical Diagnostic Benchmark for LLMs on English Standardized Tests](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tang-2025-test-taking-cognitive-scaffolding-pedagogical/)** *(2025 · 1 citation)* Benchmarks that test LLMs on standardized English exams usually check only whether the final answer is right. ## All works 3 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. **[MAGMA: A Multi-Graph based Agentic Memory Architecture for AI Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jiang-2026-magma-multi-graph-based-agentic/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Dongming Jiang, Yi Li, Guanpeng Li, et al.*2026 · 8 citations* 2.
