PAR2-RAG: Planned Active Retrieval and Reasoning for Multi-Hop Question Answering (2026.acl-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multi-hop question answering is a practical bottleneck in industry applications . large language models (LLMs) fail frequently when evidence coverage is incomplete or reasoning trajectories drift . |
| Approach: | They propose a training-free two-stage framework that separates coverage from commitment . it performs breadth-first anchoring to build a high-recall evidence frontier . compared with IRCoT, it achieves 23.5% higher answer accuracy . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms strong baselines in MHQA benchmarks and achieves 23.5% higher answer accuracy and 10.5% NDCG gains in retrieval quality. |
