PRISM is an agentic retrieval framework that uses large language models in a structured loop to improve evidence gathering for multi‑hop question answering. It splits retrieval into three specialized agents—a Question Analyzer, a Selector focused on precision, and an Adder focused on recall—whose iterative interaction yields a compact yet comprehensive evidence set. Experiments on HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA, MuSiQue, and MultiHopRAG show that PRISM consistently outperforms strong baselines by achieving higher retrieval accuracy and filtering out distracting content.

Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) extends static RAG by allowing language models to iteratively reason, generate search queries, retrieve evidence, and predict answers. However, it remains challenging for models to decide when to retrieve, whether to use lexical matching or semantic similarity, and how to control context granularity to prevent irrelevant tokens from interfering with agent reasoning.
