Beyond Retrieval Failure: Understanding Why LLMs Miss Evidence in Multi-Hop RAG

Jiaqi Wei, Wenxuan Huang, Chengdong Xu +2

Multi-hop retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) requires an agent to retrieve evidence for a sequence of dependent sub-questions. When a wrong answer lacks a required passage, the p…
