SoK: Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Taxonomy, Architectures, Evaluation, and Research Directions

This paper formalizes agentic retrieval-generation loops as finite-horizon partially observable Markov decision processes, explicitly modeling their control policies and state transitions, and develops a comprehensive taxonomy and modular architectural decomposition that categorizes systems by their planning mechanisms...

ThinkSafe: Self-Generated Safety Alignment for Reasoning Models

Large reasoning models achieve strong performance through reinforcement learning but can suffer safety degradation. External teacher distillation can restore safety yet may compromise reasoning performance. We formalize safety realignment as a KL projection: the student's native filter-accepted distribution is uniquely...

Ax-Prover: A Deep Reasoning Agentic Framework for Theorem Proving in Mathematics and Quantum Physics

We present Ax-Prover, a multi-agent system for automated theorem proving in Lean that can solve problems across diverse scientific domains and operate either autonomously or collaboratively with human experts. To achieve this, Ax-Prover approaches scientific problem solving through formal proof generation, a process th...

A Hybrid SMT-NRA Solver: Integrating 2D Cell-Jump-Based Local Search, MCSAT and OpenCAD

In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework for Satisfiability Modulo the Theory of Nonlinear Real Arithmetic (SMT-NRA for short). First, we introduce a two-dimensional cell-jump move, called \emph{2D-cell-jump}, generalizing the key operation, cell-jump, of the local search method for SMT-NRA. In contrast to the exis...

Shared Modular Recurrence in Contextual MDPs for Universal Morphology Control

A universal controller for any robot morphology would greatly improve computational and data efficiency. Steps have been made towards such multi-robot control by utilizing contextual information about the properties of individual robots and exploiting their modular structure in the architecture of deep reinforcement le...

Hierarchical World Models with Implicit Dynamics

This work introduces ID-WM (Implicit Dynamics World Models), a hierarchical world model that decouples state-space reachability from local control and yields a 135% performance gain over single-level world model MPC, particularly in complex, unseen configurations for long-horizon tasks.

Subquadratic Attention with a Hierarchical Tree-Structured Indexer

This paper derives an asymptotically subquadratic sparse attention method based on a hierarchical, tree-structured indexer, which it is demonstrated can be cheaply applied to existing pretrained models, and maintains performance on long-context retrieval and challenging reasoning, mathematical, and agentic coding evalu...

CRoS: Causality Reward on Scrambled CoTs Improves Accuracy and Reasoning Faithfulness

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become the standard method for training language models to reason. However, RLVR typically relies solely on outcome correctness, which does not guarantee that the CoT causally contributes to the final answer. Without this connection, outcome rewards may fail to...

Near-Optimal Second-Order Convex Finite-Sum Optimization under Individual Smoothness

We study the stochastic second-order oracle complexity of solving smooth convex finite-sum optimization with $n$ components. Very recently, Tsedenov \& Kovalev (2026) showed that the minimax optimal complexity under averaged smoothness and convexity is $\tilde{\Theta}(n + n^{6/7} \epsilon^{-2/7})$ by establishing nearl...

Learning Clean Generative Processes from Noisy Measurements

We study how to learn a generative model of clean images using only noisy observations. Diffusion processes and their generalizations to non-Gaussian noise require posterior predictions at every noise level. We first show that it is possible to learn these predictions from independent noisy views using Noise2Noise regr...

There Is No Free Loop: When Does Looping a Trained Model Pay for Its Inference Compute?

Looping re-applies a block of layers so that each token passes through the block more than once. Adding a loop to a trained model is attractive because it leaves the parameter count, and hence the disk size, the memory footprint and the training cost unchanged. Unfortunately, every generated token pays for the loop. Re...
