arXiv:2607. 17598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-document question answering usually forces a choice between loading the whole document into the context window and bolting on a separate retriever.

arXiv:2608. 07527v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-document understanding requires models to find and combine evidence across many pages, layouts, tables, figures, and charts.
arXiv:2606. 28349v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-context reasoning requires models to access, retrieve, and integrate evidence scattered across documents, dialogues, and accumulated interaction histories.
arXiv:2606. 29648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Different retrievers, including lexical, semantic, and multimodal approaches, provide highly complementary strengths for multimodal document understanding, yet most systems combine them through fixed pipelines that cannot adapt to the demands of individual reasoning steps.
Large language models are increasingly deployed as agents that reason over documents rather than answer from parametric knowledge. We study archive-grounded reasoning: locating sparse evidence across a large, messy collection of workplace files, reconciling inconsistent terminology, units, and time conventions, and computing an answer.
arXiv:2606. 11680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their inherent statelessness, requiring all task-relevant information to be encoded in growing input contexts.
arXiv:2607. 21503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Production AI agents' failures are less often due to an inability to reason well and more often because they cannot manage what is in their reasoning context: conversation histories, large prompts, large tool definitions, and ballooning tool outputs.
