arXiv:2608. 08237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems in production operate under strict service level objectives (SLOs) on tail latency and infrastructure cost.
arXiv:2606. 02581v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) faces a fundamental three-way tension: deeper retrieval improves factual grounding but inflates token costs and end-to-end latency.
arXiv:2606. 02488v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-hop question-answering systems often use expensive retrieval on every question.
arXiv:2607. 25600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation improves knowledge-intensive question answering, but indiscriminate retrieval can introduce irrelevant evidence and unnecessary computation.
arXiv:2606. 29090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard way to ground large language models in external knowledge, yet most systems retrieve a fixed number of passages for every question regardless of its difficulty.
arXiv:2606. 04646v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many real-world questions over business, legal, and scientific corpora are natural-language versions of database-style queries over records latent in text.
arXiv:2606. 28361v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-step retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has been widely deployed as LLM-powered web services for complex question answering, where iterative retrieval-reasoning rounds deliver strong multi-hop accuracy.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard way to ground large language models in external knowledge, yet most systems retrieve a fixed number of passages for every question regardless of its difficulty. This wastes computation on easy questions, starves hard ones, and gives no signal for when a generated answer can be trusted.
arXiv:2605. 09038v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Teaching language models to use search tools is not only a question of whether they search, but also of whether they issue good queries.
arXiv:2608. 09168v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent skills are increasingly used to equip large language model (LLM) agents with reusable procedural knowledge.
arXiv:2606. 29706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Telecom question answering (QA) is a challenging setting for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG): evidence is fragmented across standards, papers, encyclopedic resources, and web documents, and answers often hinge on technical tables, equations, and specialized protocol language.
arXiv:2608. 12720v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on long-term memory for persistent interactions, the retrieval mechanisms governing this memory are rarely treated as evolvable components.
arXiv:2607. 22690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term memory lets LLM agents reuse past interactions, but raw dialogue histories are verbose and information-sparse.
