When Does Graph Memory Help Beyond Verbalized Relations? Isolating Representation from Structure in LLM-Agent Memory
Independent research — not committed as a thesis topic
Graph memory is widely believed to help LLM agents remember better. But when graph memory is compared against flat memory, existing work changes TWO things at once: structure (the ability to traverse relations) and representation (information rewritten as typed relational sentences — unavoidable, because an LLM can only read text). So which of the two does the observed benefit belong to?
