Agentic-RAG
● completeEvaluation-driven retrieval and reasoning system over arXiv cs.AI papers.
A LangGraph-based agentic retrieval system that decides whether to retrieve, clarify, call a tool, refuse, or answer directly using memory-aware reasoning and multiple retrieval strategies.
- Seven-node routing graph with retrieve, tool, clarify, refuse, answer, and chat paths.
- Conversation, episodic, and semantic memory are injected into decision and answer prompts.
- Vector, lightweight hybrid, true hybrid, and cross-encoder retrieval modes are benchmarked.
- The evaluation covers retrieval, memory, refusal, clarification, tool routing, and smalltalk cases.
- Lightweight hybrid performed best on the benchmark; the cross-encoder added compute without improving retrieval quality.
- Refusal and clarification are treated as first-class system outcomes, not error states.
