Long-horizon interactions with LLM-based assistants require memory systems that preserve and update user states, preferences, and interaction histories. Existing evaluations report end-to-end QA accuracy and cannot determine whether errors arise from encoding, retrieval, or generation. We introduce **EvalMem**, an operation-level diagnostic framework with three parallel Examiners. For each query, the Encoding Examiner checks whether the target fact is stored, the Retrieval Examiner assesses whether the native retriever returns usable evidence, and the Generation Examiner tests whether the model can answer from oracle evidence. Their outputs form fine-grained multi-label defect codes. To improve store-level diagnosis, we adapt agentic RAG with a recall-first strategy that searches using both the query and source evidence, increasing recall of present evidence on LoCoMo from 70.2% to 95.6%. Evaluations of seven memory systems on LoCoMo, LongMemEval-S, and dynamic DynaMem-Bench identify retrieval as the most frequently attributed failure layer; in default LoCoMo, retrieval defects reach 22.1%, compared with 7.7% for encoding and 6.5% for generation. Guided by this diagnosis, **MemWiki**, a search-friendly auxiliary structure built from each system’s memory export, improves mean accuracy by 2.5 and 2.3 percentage points on LoCoMo and LongMemEval-S, respectively.

This paper presents DataSciBench, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) in data science. Unlike existing benchmarks limited to single task, simple evaluation metrics, and readily available ground truth (GT), DataSciBench is built on curated, natural, and challenging prompts with complex evaluation criteria and uncertain GT. To bridge the gap, we develop a semi-automated GT generation pipeline, integrating LLM-based self-consistency and human verification to ensure accuracy, predefined task types, and aggregate functions (metrics). Furthermore, we introduce an innovative Intention-Function-Code (IFC) framework, assessing code execution outcomes through metrics and programmatic rules. Evaluating 26 models (8 API-based, 8 open-source general, 9 code generation, and 1 agentic models), our approach offers rigorous insights into LLM strengths and weaknesses. Experimental results show API-based models outperform open-source counterparts across all metrics, with DeepAnalyze-8B leading among open-sourced models. We release all code and data at https://github.com/THUDM/DataSciBench.

The integration of sophisticated Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in vehicular systems is revolutionizing vehicle interaction and safety, performing tasks such as Visual Question Answering (VQA). However, a critical gap persists due to the lack of a comprehensive benchmark for multimodal VQA models in vehicular scenarios. To address this, we propose IntelliCockpitBench, a benchmark that encompasses diverse automotive scenarios. It includes images from front, side, and rear cameras, various road types, weather conditions, and interior views, integrating data from both moving and stationary states. Notably, all images and queries in the benchmark are verified for high levels of authenticity, ensuring the data accurately reflects real-world conditions. A sophisticated scoring methodology combining human and model-generated assessments enhances reliability and consistency. Our contributions include a diverse and authentic dataset for automotive VQA and a robust evaluation metric aligning human and machine assessments. All code and data can be found at https://github.com/Lane315/IntelliCockpitBench.

Representations of events described in text are important for various tasks. In this work, we present SWCC: a Simultaneous Weakly supervised Contrastive learning and Clustering framework for event representation learning. SWCC learns event representations by making better use of co-occurrence information of events. Specifically, we introduce a weakly supervised contrastive learning method that allows us to consider multiple positives and multiple negatives, and a prototype-based clustering method that avoids semantically related events being pulled apart. For model training, SWCC learns representations by simultaneously performing weakly supervised contrastive learning and prototype-based clustering. Experimental results show that SWCC outperforms other baselines on Hard Similarity and Transitive Sentence Similarity tasks. In addition, a thorough analysis of the prototype-based clustering method demonstrates that the learned prototype vectors are able to implicitly capture various relations between events.
