1. Towards Agentic RAG with Deep Reasoning: A Survey of RAG-Reasoning Systems in LLMs (2025 · 17 citations)
   Large language models face two linked weaknesses. Their stored knowledge is fixed and can be wrong, and they struggle with problems that need several reasoning steps. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses the first, and reasoning techniques such as Chain-of-Thought address the second. This survey argues that…
2. LLM-Based Human-Agent Collaboration and Interaction Systems: A Survey (2026 · 12 citations)
   Fully autonomous LLM agents remain hard to trust in practice. They hallucinate, especially across chained actions. They also falter on long, expertise-heavy tasks and raise safety, bias and accountability concerns in areas such as finance or healthcare. This survey argues for keeping people in the loop and gives what…
3. GAM: Hierarchical Graph-based Agentic Memory for LLM Agents (2026 · 5 citations)
   LLM agents in long conversations must absorb new information without letting passing chatter corrupt what they already know.
4. FinReporting: An Agentic Workflow for Localized Reporting of Cross-Jurisdiction Financial Disclosure (2026 · 3 citations)
   Most LLM tools that extract and condense corporate financial statements are built for one market. They assume a single accounting taxonomy and filing format, which fails investors studying foreign firms. Across markets, similarly named line items can differ in meaning, equivalent concepts can carry different labels…
5. LightReasoner: Can Small Language Models Teach Large Language Models Reasoning? (2026 · 1 citation)
   Standard supervised fine-tuning for reasoning is expensive. It typically uses rejection sampling against ground-truth answers and then updates every token equally, even though most tokens are routine. LightReasoner addresses this by letting a weaker "Amateur" model help train a stronger "Expert" model. At each step…
