CoEvo-Mem: Co-Evolving Retrieval Policy and Memory Bank for LLM Agents

As memories accumulate across tasks and sessions, the performance of long-term LLM agents depends jointly on query-specific retrieval and continual memory refinement. However, existing methods typically optimize either memory access, through iterative query refinement or adaptive retrieval policies, or memory evolution such as structural update. This separation overlooks a fundamental feedback loop: retrieval determines which memories receive usage signals, while updated memory bank reshape future retrieval. We propose \textbf{CoEvo-Mem}, a closed-loop framework for co-evolving the retrieval policy and memory bank. For each query, a frozen LLM generates route-specific query rewrites and a routing prior, which a lightweight residual router corrects online. The retrieved context serves as the coupling interface between the two learning processes: task outcomes assign credit to routing decisions, while trajectory-conditioned feedback updates memory values and graph relations. These updates alter how memories are ranked and selected for subsequent queries, thereby closing the feedback loop. To mitigate coupling induced non-stationarity, CoEvo-Mem alternates between updating the router with the memory bank fixed and evolving the memory bank with the retrieval policy fixed. Across seven diverse benchmarks, \textbf{CoEvo-Mem} achieves state-of-the-art performance, demonstrating the importance of retrieval-memory coevolution.

ReasonSTL: Bridging Natural Language and Signal Temporal Logic via Tool-Augmented Process-Rewarded Learning

Signal Temporal Logic (STL) is an expressive formal language for specifying spatio-temporal requirements over real-valued, real-time signals. It has been widely used for the verification and synthesis of autonomous systems and cyber-physical systems. In practice, however, users often express their requirements in natural language rather than in structured STL formulas, making natural-language-to-STL translation a critical yet challenging task. Manual specification requires temporal-logic expertise and cannot scale, while prompting commercial LLM APIs incurs substantial token costs and may expose sensitive system requirements to third-party services, raising privacy concerns for industrial deployment. To address these challenges, we present \textsc{ReasonSTL}, a tool-augmented framework that adapts local open-source language models for natural-language-to-STL generation. \textsc{ReasonSTL} decomposes the translation process into explicit reasoning, deterministic tool calls, and structured formula construction. We further introduce process-rewarded training to supervise both tool-use trajectories and final formulas, together with \textsc{STL-Bench}, a bilingual, computation-aware benchmark grounded in real-world signals. Experiments show that a 4B model trained with \textsc{ReasonSTL} achieves state-of-the-art performance in both automatic metrics and human evaluations, demonstrating that \textsc{ReasonSTL} provides a transparent, low-cost, and privacy-preserving alternative for formal specification drafting.
