A corrective agentic hybrid RAG and an operations-grounded evaluation for a scientific facility

arXiv:2607. 24663v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific user facilities accumulate decades of operational knowledge that no single search index covers: electronic logbooks, technical documents, internal wikis, operations chat messages, maintenance records, and live control-system data.

Nomad: Autonomous Exploration and Discovery

Nomad is an autonomous system designed to explore and discover insights within large data corpora. It builds an explicit Exploration Map to systematically traverse a domain, generating and testing hypotheses with an explorer agent that leverages document, web, and database searches. After verification, it produces cited reports and meta-reports, and its evaluation framework assesses trustworthiness, quality, and diversity, showing superior performance over baselines on UN, WHO, and arXiv datasets.

AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide

arXiv:2605. 18661v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI-assisted research is crossing a threshold: fully automated systems can now generate research papers for as little as $15, while long-horizon agents can execute experiments, draft manuscripts, and simulate critique with minimal human input.

Mapping the RAG Landscape: A Four Axis Taxonomy of Efficiency, Defense, Interactivity, and Reasoning

The paper surveys recent advances in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that integrates external retrieval into language model generation to reduce hallucinations and keep knowledge current. It introduces a four‑axis taxonomy—efficiency, defense, interactivity, and reasoning—to organize contemporary RAG research, covering retrieval methods, fusion strategies, embedding optimizations, and reinforcement learning policies. The survey also reviews evaluation practices, domain‑specific applications, and architectural variants, while highlighting ongoing challenges such as retrieval quality, reliability, domain adaptation, scalability, and explainability.
