When Deep Research Agents Stagnate: Enhancing Reasoning with Retrieval-Aware Agent Control

Heydar Soudani, Elizabeth Lingg, Faegheh Hasibi +1

In this paper, we analyze the reasoning trajectories of a variety of DRAs and show that existing agents often suffer from reasoning stagnation: the majority of iterations contribut…

Uncertainty Quantification for Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning

Heydar Soudani, Hamed Zamani, Faegheh Hasibi

Retrieval-augmented reasoning (RAR) is a recent evolution of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) that employs multiple reasoning steps for retrieval and generation. While effectiv…

FACE: A Fine-Grained Reference-Free Evaluator for Conversational Information Access

Hideaki Joko, Faegheh Hasibi

A systematic, reliable, and low-cost evaluation of Conversational Information Access (CIA) systems remains an open challenge. Existing reference-based evaluation methods are proven…

OrLog: Resolving Complex Queries with LLMs and Probabilistic Reasoning

Mohanna Hoveyda, Jelle Piepenbrock, Arjen P de Vries +2

Resolving complex information needs that come with multiple constraints should consider enforcing the logical operators encoded in the query (i.e., conjunction, disjunction, negati…
