MemBART
Preserves memory states across dialogue turns for coherent long-term interactions. (Cited in survey but the paper's exact arxiv/venue identifier was not recoverable in a quick search — likely a less-prominent dialogue-systems paper.)

Pros & cons
Pros
Preserves memory states across dialogue turns for coherent long-term interactions.
Cons
Pre-LLM era; less informative than modern memory-tuned approaches.
Claims & capabilities
Stateful memory-augmented BART for efficient dialogue modeling; separate memory module alongside pre-trained transformer for state/context exchange. Headline: superior efficiency and performance vs. pre-trained Transformer baselines (no specific headline metric in abstract); baseline: vanilla BART and pre-trained Transformer baselines; primary datasets: 3 dialogue datasets and 2 language-modeling datasets.
