arXiv:2601. 19827v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) extends large language models (LLMs) beyond parametric knowledge, yet it is unclear when iterative retrieval-reasoning loops meaningfully outperform static RAG, particularly in scientific domains with multi-hop reasoning, sparse domain knowledge, and heterogeneous evidence.

The paper introduces BioCheck Agent, an LLM-based system that generates structured biomedical fact‑checking reports using agentic search and a reinforcement‑learning framework called EG‑GRPO. Unlike prior methods that output only supported or refuted labels, BioCheck Agent synthesizes conclusions with retrieved evidence from PubMed, employing advanced Boolean search operators. Experiments show that, compared to the base Qwen3.5‑4B model, BioCheck Agent improves label prediction accuracy on SciFact by 9.95 %, raises evidence quality by 3.7 %, and reduces hallucinations by 19.63 %.
arXiv:2607. 23006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific question answering requires a retrieval system to solve two distinct problems: identifying which papers are relevant and locating the supporting evidence within those papers.
The paper introduces DASE, a query engine designed to efficiently link unstructured data for multi-step reasoning tasks. DASE combines a multi-step reasoning model, a sparse materialized embedding-similarity join index (SemJI), and a co‑designed execution layer to perform multi‑attribute filtering, multi‑vector search, exact relational joins, and thresholded embedding‑similarity joins. In scientific discovery workloads, DASE outperforms traditional RDBMS, rerank, and vector‑database baselines by 6x to 46x in retrieval speed while maintaining comparable recall, and it serves as a high‑recall prefilter that reduces downstream LLM evaluation cost and improves accuracy on benchmarks such as SemBench E‑Commerce.
