PRISM: Agentic Retrieval with LLMs for Multi-Hop Question Answering

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.

GRASP: GRanularity-Aware Search Policy for Agentic RAG

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.

From Evidence to Trajectory: Abductive Reasoning Path Synthesis for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Agents Development

arXiv:2509. 23071v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) agent development is hindered by the lack of executable ground-truth agent-environment interaction trajectories.
