arXiv:2608. 02751v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Existing deep-research agents use a Search--Visit workflow that retrieves whole webpages without considering the structure they expose through titles, headings, sections, and metadata.
arXiv:2608. 02751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing deep-research agents use a search-visit workflow that retrieves and reads whole pages, without considering the addressable structure that web sources expose through titles, headings, sections, and metadata.
arXiv:2607. 26070v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based agentic search systems are often evaluated as if the underlying LLM were the only component that matters, yet their measured performance also depends on the surrounding search environment: the Wikipedia snapshot, preprocessing pipeline, chunking policy, retrieval backend, tool schema, observation format, and answer submission rule.
arXiv:2605. 06647v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented agents are increasingly the interface to large knowledge bases, yet most treat retrieval as a black box: they issue exploratory queries, inspect snippets, and reformulate until evidence emerges.
arXiv:2606. 05241v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Public benchmarks enable fair and reproducible evaluation of LLM reasoning, but they become fragile for deep research agents that actively search the web during inference.
arXiv:2607. 28229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The web is increasingly accessed by AI agents rather than humans.
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:2608. 03527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval systems help deep research agents generate high-quality answers by providing relevant documents.
arXiv:2607. 00007v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based web agents reduce manual scripting for web data collection, yet on live websites, they often miss relevant pages, return incomplete multimodal outputs, or return media URLs that are not directly downloadable.
Search agents now answer questions that take dozens of searches to settle, yet how such an agent reads a page has drawn far less attention than how it finds one. Nearly all of them use one of two document interfaces, and both tie a page to the moment it is opened.
arXiv:2606. 00822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Skill-based LLM agents increasingly rely on long procedural documents, but full-document prompting wastes tokens and dilutes information critical to execution.
arXiv:2608. 08994v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieving relevant evidence from noisy web data is challenging, particularly in sensitive domains containing incomplete reports, heterogeneous language, and irrelevant content.
arXiv:2606. 05875v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language model (LLM) answer quality by grounding generation in external evidence, but processing retrieved contexts makes the prefill stage a dominant serving cost.
