Building evidence-based knowledge bases from full-text literature for disease-specific biomedical reasoning

EvidenceNet is a disease‑specific dataset that transforms full‑text biomedical literature into structured evidence records and graph representations, preserving study design, provenance, and quantitative support. Using an LLM‑assisted pipeline, it extracts experimentally grounded findings, normalizes entities, scores evidence quality, and links related records via typed semantic relations. The released subsets—EvidenceNet‑HCC and EvidenceNet‑CRC—contain thousands of evidence records and richly connected graphs, with high extraction and relation‑type accuracy, enabling retrieval‑augmented question answering and graph‑based tasks such as link prediction and target prioritization.

Guideline-grounded retrieval-augmented generation for ophthalmic clinical decision support

The paper introduces Oph‑Guid‑RAG, a multimodal retrieval‑augmented generation system tailored for ophthalmology clinical question answering. It treats each guideline page as an independent evidence unit, retrieving page images to preserve tables, flowcharts, and layout, and employs a controllable retrieval framework with routing and filtering to reduce noise. Evaluated on HealthBench, the system outperforms GPT‑5.2 and GPT‑5.4 on hard cases, achieving significant gains in overall score and accuracy, and ablation studies confirm the importance of reranking, routing, and retrieval design.

BRIDGE: Bilevel Retrieval-Credit-Aware Agentic Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces BRIDGE, a bilevel optimization framework that jointly trains a large language model (LLM) and a retriever for agentic reinforcement learning (ARL). It demonstrates that adapting the retriever before the policy yields better rewards, and that BRIDGE outperforms existing methods on seven open‑domain QA benchmarks and medical QA tasks, achieving significant gains in accuracy and reasoning quality.

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.

MOSAIC: Query-Aware Exploration Policy Adaptation for GraphRAG

MOSAIC is a training‑free framework that adapts Graph Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) to each query by converting query‑specific evidence needs into a bounded policy over seed selection, traversal, stopping, and evidence selection. It keeps the corpus graph, indexes, scoring, grounding, and answer generation shared, while an LLM analyzer tailors the exploration strategy per query. On GraphRAG‑Bench, MOSAIC improves answer correctness by over 5 points on Medical and 4 points on Novel, achieves high evidence recall and context relevancy, and reduces path and evidence evaluations compared to fixed policies.
