GRASP: Graph Agentic Search for Multi-hop QA

other · 2026-05-20

arXiv:2605.16598 introduces GRASP (Graph Agentic Search over Propositions), an agentic retrieval system for multi-hop question answering. It optimizes both accuracy and token usage by decomposing queries into dependency-aware plans and dynamically scaling sub-agents. Each sub-agent explores a three-layer hierarchical graph of entities, propositions, and passages. The system avoids expensive graph construction and reduces inference token usage compared to prior methods.
