arXiv:2608. 16515v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves large language models by grounding generation in external evidence, but it also introduces a source trust problem: retrieved context may be useful, irrelevant, or even misleading.

The paper proposes a new method for training large language models to handle long-context reasoning by combining Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with on‑policy distillation (OPD). It introduces a synthetic multilingual dataset called LongBlocks that tests multi‑hop reasoning, contextual grounding, and long‑form generation. Experiments show that the combined approach outperforms either GRPO or OPD alone while maintaining short‑context performance.

Personalized interpretation of medical reports has emerged as an increasingly important need among patients. Addressing this need requires both evidence-grounded medical factuality and context-dependent patient communication, yet existing medical vision-language tasks do not adequately capture these dual requirements.
arXiv:2606. 01223v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite substantial progress in long-context modeling, existing benchmarks remain confined to factual memory for explicit recall, failing to measure the reflective memory required to synthesize fragmented, multimodal cues into high-level interpretations.

ConfRAG introduces a confidence-guided approach to reduce hallucinations in large language models and selectively trigger Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) only when the model is uncertain. The ConfQA fine‑tuning strategy trains the model to answer correctly or respond with "I am unsure," achieving a drop in hallucination rates from 20‑40% to below 5% across factuality benchmarks. Building on ConfQA, ConfRAG limits external retrievals by more than 30% while maintaining over 95% accuracy in ideal scenarios.
