After Retrieval, Before Generation: Enhancing the Trustworthiness of Large Language Models in Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a promising paradigm, yet its trustworthiness remains a critical concern. A major vulnerability arises prior to generation: models often fail to balance parametric (internal) and retrieved (external) knowledge, particularly when the two sources conflict or are unreliable. To analyze these scenarios comprehensively, we construct the Trustworthiness Response Dataset (TRD) with 36,266 questions spanning four RAG settings. We reveal that existing approaches address isolated scenarios-prioritizing one knowledge source, naively merging both, or refusing answers-but lack a unified framework to handle different real-world conditions simultaneously. Therefore, we propose the BRIDGE framework, which dynamically determines a comprehensive response strategy of large language models (LLMs). BRIDGE leverages an adaptive weighting mechanism named soft bias to guide knowledge collection, followed by a Maximum Soft-bias Decision Tree to evaluate knowledge and select optimal response strategies (trust internal/external knowledge, or refuse). Experiments show BRIDGE outperforms baselines by 5-15% in accuracy while maintaining balanced performance across all scenarios. Our work provides an effective solution for LLMs' trustworthy responses in real-world RAG applications.

ELAIPBench: A Benchmark for Expert-Level Artificial Intelligence Paper Understanding

While large language models (LLMs) excel at many domain-specific tasks, their ability to deeply comprehend and reason about full-length academic papers remains underexplored. Existing benchmarks often fall short of capturing such depth, either due to surface-level question design or unreliable evaluation metrics. To address this gap, we introduce ELAIPBench, a benchmark curated by domain experts to evaluate LLMs' comprehension of artificial intelligence (AI) research papers. Developed through an incentive-driven, adversarial annotation process, ELAIPBench features 403 multiple-choice questions from 137 papers. It spans three difficulty levels and emphasizes non-trivial reasoning rather than shallow retrieval. Our experiments show that the best-performing LLM achieves an accuracy of only 39.95%, far below human performance. Moreover, we observe that frontier LLMs equipped with a thinking mode or a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system fail to improve final results-even harming accuracy due to overthinking or noisy retrieval. These findings underscore the significant gap between current LLM capabilities and genuine comprehension of academic papers.

StressEval: Failure-Driven Dynamic Benchmarking for Knowledge-Intensive Reasoning in Large Language Models

Static benchmarks for LLMs are increasingly compromised by contamination and overfitting especially on knowledge intensive reasoning tasks While recent dynamic benchmarks can alleviate staleness they often increase difficulty at the expense of answerability and controllability In this paper we propose StressEval a failure driven data synthesis framework that turns observed model failures into dynamic challenging and controllable test instances StressEval consists of three stages first it constructs a semi structured difficulty card that identifies the failed reasoning step and its root cause second it applies a dual perspective instance synthesis method that targets both knowledge gaps and reasoning breakdowns while preserving the underlying difficulty factors and third it applies a gating mechanism to retain only grounded unambiguous instances Seeding from multiple knowledge intensive reasoning datasets we employ StressEval to build Dynamic OneEval a focused suite of challenging dynamic benchmark Across several state of the art LLMs Dynamic OneEval yields substantially larger performance drops than the original benchmarks while retaining explicit difficulty factors enabling more actionable iteration

Outlining and Filling: Hierarchical Query Graph Generation for Answering Complex Questions over Knowledge Graphs

Query graph construction aims to construct the correct executable SPARQL on the KG to answer natural language questions. Although recent methods have achieved good results using neural network-based query graph ranking, they suffer from three new challenges when handling more complex questions: 1) complicated SPARQL syntax, 2) huge search space, and 3) locally ambiguous query graphs. In this paper, we provide a new solution. As a preparation, we extend the query graph by treating each SPARQL clause as a subgraph consisting of vertices and edges and define a unified graph grammar called AQG to describe the structure of query graphs. Based on these concepts, we propose a novel end-to-end model that performs hierarchical autoregressive decoding to generate query graphs. The high-level decoding generates an AQG as a constraint to prune the search space and reduce the locally ambiguous query graph. The bottom-level decoding accomplishes the query graph construction by selecting appropriate instances from the preprepared candidates to fill the slots in the AQG. The experimental results show that our method greatly improves the SOTA performance on complex KGQA benchmarks. Equipped with pre-trained models, the performance of our method is further improved, achieving SOTA for all three datasets used.
