| Challenge: | Existing studies on the use of LLMs for estimating user intents are either too far from real human thought processes or require labeled samples. |
| Approach: | They propose a deliberative agent framework that leverages human thought process to build high-level domain knowledge and a tree-structured knowledge base to store refined experience and data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is able to build high-level domain knowledge and efficiently store it across multiple steps. |
GeoDRL: A Self-Learning Framework for Geometry Problem Solving using Reinforcement Learning in Deductive Reasoning (2023.findings-acl)

| Challenge: | Existing methods for automated geometry problem solving lack labeled data. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that integrates logic graph deduction and deep reinforcement learning to optimize geometry reasoning as a Markov Decision Process. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves accuracy and interpretability in the Geometry3K dataset while maintaining correctness. |
TurboRAG: Accelerating Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Precomputed KV Caches for Chunked Text (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current RAG systems concatenate and process numerous retrieved document chunks for prefill . this leads to significant latency in time-to-first-token (TTFT) Experimental results demonstrate that TurboRAG reduces TTFT by up to 9.4x compared to the conventional RAG system. |
| Approach: | They propose a hybrid offline-online paradigm that precomputes chunk-level key-value caches and stitches them together at inference time using independent–attention and reorderedRoPE techniques. |
| Outcome: | Experimental results show that TurboRAG reduces TTFT by 9.4x compared to the conventional RAG systems . long concatenated contexts consume disproportionate GPU memory, limiting throughput . |
