Many researchers argue that rote learning hinders generalization because it encourages verbatim memorization rather than deeper understanding. This concern extends even to factual knowledge, which inevitably requires a certain degree of…

Temporal Context Reinstatement Drives Episodic-Like Order Memory in Long-Context Language Models

ICML 2026poster

Human episodic memory supports the retrieval of experiences that unfold over extended timescales, yet the computational mechanisms underlying this ability remain debated due to the difficulty of mechanistic accessibility in long-term memory experiments in humans. Long-context LLMs may offer promisin…
