🧠Researchers evaluate semantic search as a tool for analyzing 18th-century intellectual history, specifically tracking how John Locke's ideas circulated through paraphrases and implicit references. While semantic search substantially outperforms traditional lexical methods at capturing meaning-level correspondences, linguistic analysis reveals that retrieval remains constrained by surface-level vocabulary overlap, suggesting both promise and limitations for historical corpus analysis.

🧠Researchers present a scale-conditioned evaluation protocol for AI agent memory systems that tests whether stored evidence remains usable as irrelevant data accumulates. Testing across multiple memory architectures and language models reveals that reliability degrades unpredictably with scale, with some models exceeding computational budgets while others maintain performance, suggesting memory scalability claims must be conditioned on specific agent-interface-scale combinations.
