R-Searcher: Calibrating Retrieval and Reasoning Boundaries for Agentic Search

Sheng Zhang, Junyi Li, Wenlin Zhang +6

Recent search agents for multi-hop reasoning often fail by either retrieving incomplete evidence or reasoning over irrelevant portions of the retrieved content, leading to a retrie…

RAGR: Review-Augmented Generative Recommendation

Yingyi Zhang, Junyi Li, Yejing Wang +8

Sequential recommendation (SR) is traditionally formulated as next-item prediction over chronological item interactions. Although recent generative recommendation (GR) methods intr…

Evoking User Memory: Personalizing LLM via Recollection-Familiarity Adaptive Retrieval

Yingyi Zhang, Junyi Li, Wenlin Zhang +8

Personalized large language models (LLMs) rely on memory retrieval to incorporate user-specific histories, preferences, and contexts. Existing approaches either overload the LLM by…

To Search or Not to Search: Aligning the Decision Boundary of Deep Search Agents via Causal Intervention

Wenlin Zhang, Kuicai Dong, Junyi Li +9

Deep search agents, which autonomously iterate through multi-turn web-based reasoning, represent a promising paradigm for complex information-seeking tasks. However, current agents…
