Long-term assistants must answer questions over conversations beyond the context window while grounding responses in verifiable dialogue evidence. Existing memory systems retrieve compact representations, but these may omit critical details, while similarity search may favor related records over answer-bearing source turns. We introduce GRACE-Mem, a long-term memory architecture that separates candidate discovery, candidate reranking, and final evidence construction. It uses graph records for discovery, compressed records for reranking, and provenance-linked raw dialogue spans as final evidence. After hybrid graph retrieval, multi-hop expansion, and two-stage reranking, the top-K records seed an Evidence Curation Agent. The agent searches the raw corpus, removes irrelevant candidates, recovers missing evidence, and returns provenance identifiers to reconstruct the final context from raw dialogue. GRACE-Mem achieves 85.3% on LoCoMo and 73.2% on LongMemEval, surpassing the previously reported state of the art, AMA, by 7.9 and 3.4 percentage points, respectively.

In recent years, large-scale pre-trained speech models such as Whisper have been widely applied to speech recognition. While they achieve strong performance on high-resource languages such as English and Mandarin, dialects and other low-resource languages remain challenging due to limited data availability. The government-led “Formosa Speech in the Wild (FSW) project” is an important cultural preservation initiative for Hakka, a regional dialect, where the development of Hakka ASR systems represents a key technological milestone. Beyond model architecture, data processing and training strategies are also critical. In this paper, we explore data augmentation techniques for Hakka speech, including TTS and MUSAN-based approaches, and analyze different data combinations by fine-tuning the pre-trained Whisper model. We participated in the 2025 Hakka FSR ASR competition (student track) for the Dapu and Zhaoan varieties. In the pilot test, our system achieved 7th place in Hanzi recognition (CER: 15.92) and 3rd place in Pinyin recognition (SER: 20.49). In the official finals, our system ranked 6 in Hanzi recognition (CER: 15.73) and 4 in Pinyin recognition (SER: 20.68). We believe that such data augmentation strategies can advance research on Hakka ASR and support the long-term preservation of Hakka culture.
