DeepRefine: Agent-Compiled Knowledge Refinement via Reinforcement Learning

Agent-compiled knowledge bases provide persistent external knowledge for large language model (LLM) agents in open-ended, knowledge-intensive downstream tasks. Yet their quality is systematically limited by \emph{incompleteness}, \emph{incorrectness}, and \emph{redundancy}, manifested as missing evidence or cross-document links, low-confidence or imprecise claims, and ambiguous or coreference resolution issues. Such defects compound under iterative use, degrading retrieval fidelity and downstream task performance. We present \textbf{DeepRefine}, a general LLM-based reasoning model for \emph{agent-compiled knowledge refinement} that improves the quality of any pre-constructed knowledge bases with user queries to make it more suitable for the downstream tasks. DeepRefine performs multi-turn interactions with the knowledge base and conducts abductive diagnosis over interaction history, localizes likely defects, and executes targeted refinement actions for incremental knowledge base updates. To optimize refinement policies of DeepRefine without gold references, we introduce a Gain-Beyond-Draft (GBD) reward and train the reasoning process end-to-end via reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments demonstrate consistent downstream gains over strong baselines.

KGPFN: Unlocking the Potential of Knowledge Graph Foundation Model via In-Context Learning

Knowledge graph (KG) foundation models aim to generalize across graphs with unseen entities and relations by learning transferable relational structure. However, most existing methods primarily emphasize relation-level universality, while in-context learning, the other pillar of foundation models remains under-explored for KG reasoning. In KGs, context is inherently structured and heterogeneous: effective prediction requires conditioning on the local context around the query entities as well as the global context that summarizes how a relation behaves across many instances. We propose KGPFN, a KG foundation model using Prior-data Fitted Network that unifies transferable relational regularities with inference-time in-context learning from structured context. KGPFN first learns relation representations via message passing on relation graphs to capture cross-graph relational invariances. For query-specific reasoning, it encodes local neighborhoods using a multi-layer NBFNet as local context. To enable ICL at global scale, it constructs relation-specific global context by retrieving a large set of instances of the query relation together with their local neighborhoods, and aggregates them within a Prior-Data Fitted Network framework that combines feature-level and sample-level attention. Through multi-graph pretraining on diverse KGs, KGPFN learns when to instantiate reusable patterns and when to override them using contextual evidence. Experiments on 57 KG benchmarks demonstrate that KGPFN achieves strong adaptation to previously unseen graphs through in-context learning alone, consistently outperforming competitive fine-tuned KG foundation models.

MemLens: Benchmarking Multimodal Long-Term Memory in Large Vision-Language Models

Memory is essential for large vision-language models (LVLMs) to handle long, multimodal interactions, with two method directions providing this capability: long-context LVLMs and memory-augmented agents. However, no existing benchmark conducts a systematic comparison of the two on questions that genuinely require multimodal evidence. To close this gap, we introduce MEMLENS, a comprehensive benchmark for memory in multimodal multi-session conversations, comprising 789 questions across five memory abilities (information extraction, multi-session reasoning, temporal reasoning, knowledge update, and answer refusal) at four standard context lengths (32K-256K tokens) under a cross-modal token-counting scheme. An image-ablation study confirms that solving MEMLENS requires visual evidence: removing evidence images drops two frontier LVLMs below 2% accuracy on the 80.4% of questions whose evidence includes images. Evaluating 27 LVLMs and 7 memory-augmented agents, we find that long-context LVLMs achieve high short-context accuracy through direct visual grounding but degrade as conversations grow, whereas memory agents are length-stable but lose visual fidelity under storage-time compression. Multi-session reasoning caps most systems below 30%, and neither approach alone solves the task. These results motivate hybrid architectures that combine long-context attention with structured multimodal retrieval. Our code is available at https://github.com/xrenaf/MEMLENS.
