Core Methodology

Problem

We propose a Cognitive-structured Multimodal Agent that externalizes visual information into an Episodic Visual Memory and selectively reactivates relevant episodes during reasoning. The agent consists of a Perceptual Abstraction Engine, a Cognitive Retrieval Engine, and a Multimodal Executive Controller. Our 8B agent achieves 91.4% retrieval accuracy over 20-turn sessions, surpassing 32B baselines by +8.2%.
