arXiv:2604.01241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cooperative Coevolution (CC) effectively addresses Large-Scale Global Optimization (LSGO) via decomposition but struggles with the emerging class of Heterogeneous LSGO (H-LSGO) problems arising from real-world applications, where subproblems exhibit diverse dimensions and distinct landscapes. The prevailing CC paradigm, relying on a fixed low-dimensional optimizer, often fails to navigate this heterogeneity. To address this limitation, we propose the Learning-Based Heterogeneous Cooperative Coevolution Framework (LH-CC). By formulating the optimization process as a Markov Decision Process, LH-CC employs a meta-agent to adaptively select the most suitable optimizer for each subproblem. We also introduce a flexible benchmark suite to generate diverse H-LSGO problem instances. Extensive experiments on 3000-dimensional problems with complex coupling relationships demonstrate that LH-CC achieves superior solution quality and computational efficiency compared to state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, the framework exhibits robust generalization across varying problem instances, optimization horizons, and optimizers. Our findings reveal that dynamic optimizer selection is a pivotal strategy for solving complex H-LSGO problems.

arXiv:2603.03290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-horizon LLM agents require memory systems that remain accurate under fixed context budgets. However, existing systems struggle with two persistent challenges in long-term dialogue: (i) \textbf{disconnected evidence}, where multi-hop answers require linking facts distributed across time, and (ii) \textbf{state updates}, where evolving information (e.g., schedule changes) creates conflicts with older static logs. We propose AriadneMem, a structured memory system that addresses these failure modes via a decoupled two-phase pipeline. In the \textbf{offline construction phase}, AriadneMem employs \emph{entropy-aware gating} to filter noise and low-information message before LLM extraction and applies \emph{conflict-aware coarsening} to merge static duplicates while preserving state transitions as temporal edges. In the \textbf{online reasoning phase}, rather than relying on expensive iterative planning, AriadneMem executes \emph{algorithmic bridge discovery} to reconstruct missing logical paths between retrieved facts, followed by \emph{single-call topology-aware synthesis}. On LoCoMo experiments with GPT-4o, AriadneMem improves \textbf{Multi-Hop F1 by 15.2\%} and \textbf{Average F1 by 9.0\%} over strong baselines. Crucially, by offloading reasoning to the graph layer, AriadneMem reduces \textbf{total runtime by 77.8\%} using only \textbf{497} context tokens.
