A Survey of Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval: Progress and Challenges

Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval (RIR) targets retrieval settings where relevance is mediated by latent inferential links between a query and supporting evidence, rather than semantic similarity. Motivated by the emergent reasoning abilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), recent work integrates these capabilities into the IR field, spanning the entire pipeline from benchmarks to retrievers and rerankers. Despite this progress, the field lacks a systematic framework to organize current efforts and articulate a clear path forward. To provide a clear roadmap for this rapidly growing yet fragmented area, this survey (1) systematizes existing RIR benchmarks by knowledge domains and modalities, providing a detailed analysis of the current landscape; (2) introduces a structured taxonomy that categorizes methods based on where and how reasoning is integrated into the retrieval pipeline, alongside an analysis of their trade-offs and practical applications; and (3) summarizes challenges and future directions to guide research in this evolving field.

ReasonAudio: A Benchmark for Evaluating Reasoning Beyond Matching in Text-Audio Retrieval

As multimodal content continues to expand at a rapid pace, audio retrieval has emerged as a key enabling technology for media search, content organization, and intelligent assistants. However, most existing benchmarks concentrate on semantic matching and fail to capture the fact that real-world queries often demand advanced reasoning abilities, including negation understanding, temporal ordering, concurrent event recognition, and duration discrimination. To address this gap, we introduce ReasonAudio, the first reasoning-intensive benchmark for Text-Audio Retrieval, comprising 1,000 queries and 10,000 composite audio clips across five fundamental reasoning tasks: Negation, Order, Overlap, Duration, and Mix. Despite their intuitive nature for humans and straightforward construction, these tasks pose significant challenges to current models. Our evaluation of ten state-of-the-art models reveals the following findings: All models struggle with reasoning-intensive audio retrieval, performing particularly poorly on Negation and Duration while showing relatively better results on Overlap and Order. Moreover, Multimodal Large Language Model-based embedding models fail to inherit the reasoning capabilities of their backbones through contrastive fine-tuning, suggesting that current training paradigms are insufficient to preserve reasoning capacity in retrieval settings

Rethinking Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval: Evaluating and Advancing Retrievers in Agentic Search Systems

Reasoning-intensive retrieval aims to surface evidence that supports downstream reasoning rather than merely matching topical similarity. This capability is increasingly important for agentic search systems, where retrievers must provide complementary evidence across iterative search and synthesis. However, existing work remains limited on both evaluation and training: benchmarks such as BRIGHT provide narrow gold sets and evaluate retrievers in isolation, while synthetic training corpora often optimize single-passage relevance rather than evidence portfolio construction. We introduce BRIGHT-Pro, an expert-annotated benchmark that expands each query with multi-aspect gold evidence and evaluates retrievers under both static and agentic search protocols. We further construct RTriever-Synth, an aspect-decomposed synthetic corpus that generates complementary positives and positive-conditioned hard negatives, and use it to LoRA fine-tune RTriever-4B from Qwen3-Embedding-4B. Experiments across lexical, general-purpose, and reasoning-intensive retrievers show that aspect-aware and agentic evaluation expose behaviors hidden by standard metrics, while RTriever-4B substantially improves over its base model.
