Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed in long running workflows, where they must preserve user and task state across many turns. Many existing agent memory systems behave like external databases with ad hoc read/write rules, which can yield unstable retention, limited consolidation, and vulnerability to distractor content. We present CraniMem, a neurocognitively motivated, gated and bounded multi-stage memory design for agentic systems. CraniMem couples goal conditioned gating and utility tagging with a bounded episodic buffer for near term continuity and a structured long-term knowledge graph for durable semantic recall. A scheduled consolidation loop replays high utility traces into the graph while pruning low utility items, keeping memory growth in check and reducing interference. On long horizon benchmarks evaluated under both clean inputs and injected noise, CraniMem is more robust than a Vanilla RAG and Mem0 baseline and exhibits smaller performance drops under distraction. Our code is available at https://github.com/PearlMody05/Cranimem and the accompanying PyPI package at https://pypi.org/project/cranimem.

Multilingual large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in linguistically diverse regions like India, yet most interpretability tools remain tailored to English. Prior work reveals that LLMs often operate in English centric representation spaces, making cross lingual interpretability a pressing concern. We introduce Indic-TunedLens, a novel interpretability framework specifically for Indian languages that learns shared affine transformations. Unlike the standard Logit Lens, which directly decodes intermediate activations, Indic-TunedLens adjusts hidden states for each target language, aligning them with the target output distributions to enable more faithful decoding of model representations. We evaluate our framework on 10 Indian languages using the MMLU benchmark and find that it significantly improves over SOTA interpretability methods, especially for morphologically rich, low resource languages. Our results provide crucial insights into the layer-wise semantic encoding of multilingual transformers. Our model is available at https://huggingface.co/spaces/MihirRajeshPanchal/IndicTunedLens.

Landslides are a growing climate induced hazard with severe environmental and human consequences, particularly in high mountain Asia. Despite increasing access to satellite and temporal datasets, timely detection and disaster response remain underdeveloped and fragmented. This work introduces CC-GRMAS, a framework leveraging a series of satellite observations and environmental signals to enhance the accuracy of landslide forecasting. The system is structured around three interlinked agents Prediction, Planning, and Execution, which collaboratively enable real time situational awareness, response planning, and intervention. By incorporating local environmental factors and operationalizing multi agent coordination, this approach offers a scalable and proactive solution for climate resilient disaster preparedness across vulnerable mountainous terrains.
