EAR: Entity-Aware Partitioning Approach for Retrieval-Augmented Generation Development

The paper introduces EAR, an Entity‑Aware Partitioning approach that improves retrieval‑augmented generation for multiple‑choice question answering by extracting normalized surface anchors from questions, answers, and the corpus. EAR retrieves local windows around matching anchors and can attach a larger parent passage via an extractive summary, reducing retrieved words by 37.5‑40.2% compared to fixed‑size chunks. Experiments on a cleaned MMLU‑style subset with Mistral, Gemma, and DeepSeek show modest accuracy changes, none statistically significant, highlighting EAR’s methodological contribution of compact, inspectable retrieval units.

Co-Evolving Structured Knowledge and Reasoning in Language Models

The paper introduces KBevo, a co‑evolving framework that simultaneously builds a structured knowledge base and performs reasoning over it for knowledge‑intensive question answering. By optimizing both components end‑to‑end with QA outcome rewards, the system improves the quality and connectivity of the knowledge base, leading to higher answer reachability and better compositional factual reasoning. Compared to standard retrieval baselines, KBevo offers greater controllability and improved factual accuracy.

TrajWiki: Source-Grounded Memory Trajectories for Long-Horizon Dialogue Agents

Large language model agents have shown strong capabilities in generating coherent and contextually appropriate responses, yet robust long-horizon dialogue remains limited by the lack of external memory that is traceable, updatable, and diagnostically transparent. Existing memory-augmented agents often store memories as isolated records or overwritable states, making it difficult to preserve how information originates, evolves, conflicts, or becomes obsolete over time.
