arXiv:2604. 13731v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-page Document Visual Question Answering requires reasoning over semantics, layouts, and visual elements in long, visually dense documents.
arXiv:2607. 24748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visually-rich documents such as reports, slides, and manuals often distribute the evidence needed to answer a question across multiple pages, mixing text with layout cues, tables, charts, and figures.
arXiv:2608. 03292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long Document Visual Question Answering (LongDocVQA) requires Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to locate, integrate, and reason over heterogeneous document elements distributed across multiple pages.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) streamlines long-document understanding by leveraging retrieval mechanisms to restrict input images to a highly curated subset. However, existing multimodal RAG pipelines primarily face two critical challenges: first, standard semantic similarity retrievers frequently fetch topically overlapping yet answer-void distractor pages that mislead downstream generation; second, rigid single-pass pipelines heavily depend on initial retrieval success, where any omission of core evidence inevitably causes cascading errors.

arXiv:2608. 07527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document understanding requires models to find and combine evidence across many pages, layouts, tables, figures, and charts.
arXiv:2608. 10628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document understanding often requires reasoning over many visually rich pages, making inference costly and prone to context rot.
arXiv:2608. 07067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document understanding requires locating sparse and heterogeneous evidence across hundreds of pages, yet existing systems remain limited by static retrieval and fragile cross-round memory.
Iterative retrieval-reasoning agents have recently shown promise for multimodal long-document question answering. However, most existing systems maintain a single growing context that mixes retrieval traces, observations, and intermediate reasoning.
