Large language models (LLMs)-based personal assistants may struggle to effectively utilize long-term conversational histories.Despite advances in long-term memory systems and dense retrieval methods, these assistants still fail to capture entity relationships and handle multiple intents effectively. To tackle above limitations, we propose **Associa**, a graph-structured memory framework that mimics human cognitive processes. Associa comprises an event-centric memory graph and two collaborative components: **Intuitive Association**, which extracts evidence-rich subgraphs through Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree optimization, and **Deliberating Recall**, which iteratively refines queries for comprehensive evidence collection. Experiments show that Associa significantly outperforms existing methods in retrieval and QA (question and answering) tasks across long-term dialogue benchmarks, advancing the development of more human-like AI memory systems.

Large Language Models (LLMs) could struggle to fully understand legal theories and perform complex legal reasoning tasks. In this study, we introduce a challenging task (confusing charge prediction) to better evaluate LLMs’ understanding of legal theories and reasoning capabilities. We also propose a novel framework: Multi-Agent framework for improving complex Legal Reasoning capability (MALR). MALR employs non-parametric learning, encouraging LLMs to automatically decompose complex legal tasks and mimic human learning process to extract insights from legal rules, helping LLMs better understand legal theories and enhance their legal reasoning abilities. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively addresses complex reasoning issues in practical scenarios, paving the way for more reliable applications in the legal domain.
