Proced-Mem: Benchmarking Procedural Memory Retrieval in Language Agents Across Domains

Ishant Kohar and Aswanth Krishnan

The first benchmark to isolate procedural memory retrieval from task execution, spanning text-based household tasks (ALFWorld) and real computer-use environments (OSWorld). Evaluates seven retrieval methods across text, visual, and lexical modalities with an LLM-as-judge protocol validated against human annotations.

Embedding-based retrieval degrades 30 to 42% on novel contexts, a generalization cliff: encoders treat procedures as unordered bags of tokens and discard the temporal structure that transfer depends on.
