arXiv:2607. 22625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) enhances large language models (LLMs) with external knowledge, but suffers from knowledge conflicts: when retrieved information contradicts parametric memory, the shared self-attention pathway produces unpredictable outputs.

arXiv:2606. 05644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When retrieved evidence contradicts parametric memory, language models frequently ignore context and default to memorized priors -- a failure that undermines the core purpose of retrieval augmentation.

The paper introduces VAKE, a two‑stage reinforcement‑learning framework that activates latent factual knowledge in large language models. In the Priming stage, the model explicitly inserts bridging triples into an insufficient subgraph, guided by rewards from a frozen model’s answers. The Reasoning stage then trains the model to answer from the original input, demonstrating that the elicitation capability transfers to implicit reasoning and consistently outperforms baselines across multiple benchmarks and model sizes.

arXiv:2607. 02010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models must adapt to evolving tasks and domains, yet continual improvement under bounded deployment footprint remains difficult because repeated parameter updates or growing replay stores can accumulate adaptation state over time.
