Entity Resolution via Batched Oracle Queries

We consider an oracle that processes a limited batch of records at a time and clusters those that refer to the same real-world entity. We study how to interrogate such an oracle to resolve entities in a dataset whose size is far larger than a single batch, and where no batch is guaranteed to contain all records of any given entity.

Efficiently Linking Unstructured Data for Multi-step Reasoning

The paper introduces DASE, a query engine designed to efficiently link unstructured data for multi-step reasoning tasks. DASE combines a multi-step reasoning model, a sparse materialized embedding-similarity join index (SemJI), and a co‑designed execution layer to perform multi‑attribute filtering, multi‑vector search, exact relational joins, and thresholded embedding‑similarity joins. In scientific discovery workloads, DASE outperforms traditional RDBMS, rerank, and vector‑database baselines by 6x to 46x in retrieval speed while maintaining comparable recall, and it serves as a high‑recall prefilter that reduces downstream LLM evaluation cost and improves accuracy on benchmarks such as SemBench E‑Commerce.

STEER: Reducing Inference Cost in Relational Foundation Models through Semantically Informed Sampling

STEER is a sampling method for relational foundation models that reduces inference cost by focusing on the most relevant tables for a prediction task. It uses a large language model to rank foreign‑key edges in the database schema into relevance tiers, then assigns traversal probabilities based on these tiers. Evaluated on three state‑of‑the‑art RFMs, STEER cuts inference context size by roughly 40% on average while preserving or improving accuracy.

ORDER: Task-Conditioned Routing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

The paper introduces ORDER, a task‑conditioned retrieval‑augmented generation framework that dynamically adapts both indexing and retrieval strategies to each incoming query. It first clusters questions to learn cluster‑specific chunking, metadata filtering, and reranking settings, then routes queries to the appropriate pre‑built index via nearest‑centroid assignment. Additionally, a supervised query router predicts relevant collections and a Uniform Multi‑source Sampler distributes the retrieval budget evenly across selected sources, yielding superior performance on heterogeneous historical archives compared to existing RAG systems.

Iris: Climbing to the Search Frontier

The paper introduces Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at 35B and 397B parameter scales. They use a novel data pipeline that constructs reverse‑engineered multi‑hop queries from web hyperlinks, filters trajectories, and alternates supervised fine‑tuning with reinforcement learning in a process called SFT‑RL climbing. Evaluations on several benchmarks show that, with inference‑time context management, the agents achieve the best open‑source results in their parameter ranges.
