To Isolate or to Score? Model-Adaptive Assessment for Cost-Efficient Multi-Agent RAG

Researchers demonstrate that multi-agent document assessment for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems can be significantly optimized through model-adaptive routing rather than expensive scoring mechanisms. The study reveals that weaker models benefit primarily from document isolation rather than quality assessment, while MADARA, a proposed adaptive architecture, generalizes across different model families with zero-shot capability, reducing computational overhead.

Retrieval-Augmented Anatomical Guidance for Text-to-CT Generation

Researchers propose a retrieval-augmented approach for generating CT scans from radiology reports that combines semantic control with anatomical consistency by retrieving structurally similar clinical cases and using their annotations as guidance. The method improves image fidelity and clinical consistency compared to text-only baselines while enabling spatial controllability without requiring ground-truth annotations at inference time.

When Confidence Takes the Wrong Path: Diagnosing Retrieval-State Lock-In in RAG

Researchers identify 'retrieval-state lock-in,' a failure mode in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems where multiple sampled answers agree despite being wrong because they condition on the same defective retrieval state. The study proposes decomposing confidence scores into three components—answer surface, evidence, and retrieval state—achieving 91.9% precision by requiring all three to agree, though this certifies only 7.7% of answers as low-risk.
