MM-Doc-R1: Training Agents for Long Document Visual Question Answering through Multi-turn Reinforcement Learning

Jiahang Lin, Kai Hu, Binghai Wang +12

Conventional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems often struggle with complex multi-hop queries over long documents due to their single-pass retrieval. We introduce MM-Doc-…
