MemRL outperforms RAG on complex agent benchmarks without fine-tuning

A new technique developed by researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other institutions enables large language model agents to learn new skills without the need for expensive fine-tuning.The researchers propose MemRL, a framework that gives agents the ability to develop episodic memory, the capacity to retrieve past experiences to create solutions for unseen tasks. MemRL allows agents to use environmental feedback to refine their problem-solving strategies continuously.MemRL is part of a broader push in the research community to develop continual learning capabilities for AI applications. In experiments on key industry benchmarks, the framework outperformed other baselines such as RAG and other memory organization techniques, particularly in complex environments that require explo
