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: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.

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. 29677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata.

arXiv:2504. 20114v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems face significant challenges in multi-hop question answering (MHQA), where complex queries require synthesizing information across multiple document chunks.

arXiv:2607. 08269v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems treat web pages as flat text, losing the structural and semantic signals encoded in HTML.

arXiv:2606. 28344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Augmenting large language models (LLMs) with retrieved web text has become a dominant paradigm, yet the web is not natively textual: existing systems depend on complex parsing pipelines that linearize HTML and discard layout, visual structure, and formatting.

arXiv:2602. 12187v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Search-Augmented Generative Engines (SAGE) have emerged as a new paradigm for information access, bridging web-scale retrieval with generative capabilities to deliver synthesized answers.

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:2607. 00007v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based web agents automate web navigation and data collection.

arXiv:2607. 22662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-web corpora curated via highly selective filters, such as FineWeb-Edu and DCLM, constitute the core of LLM pretraining data and have significantly advanced LLM performance.

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.
