arXiv:2606. 01613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents an agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework for domain-specific technical reasoning support, instantiated over a curated corpus of approximately 2,100 academic papers in intelligent tires, vehicle dynamics, and vehicle control.

arXiv:2607. 24748v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visually-rich documents such as reports, slides, and manuals often distribute the evidence needed to answer a question across multiple pages, mixing text with layout cues, tables, charts, and figures.

VisDocAgentBench is a closed‑corpus benchmark that evaluates static versus agentic retrieval for visually rich documents, using 2,375 pages from 100 documents and 120 queries that span direct, one‑bridge, and two‑bridge evidence structures. The benchmark includes semantic, relational, and visual queries, full‑document review, and hard‑negative validation. Results show that a strong visual retriever performs well on direct items but poorly on two‑bridge items, while agents improve performance, especially when using visual retrieval and iterative search capabilities.

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.

arXiv:2607. 22643v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal retrieval-augmented generation (mRAG) aims to answer image-text queries with external knowledge, but most existing systems still retrieve directly from raw multimodal input over a flat evidence space.

arXiv:2604. 09552v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Engineering rulebooks and technical standards contain multimodal information like dense text, tables, and illustrations that are challenging for retrieval augmented generation (RAG) systems.
