Many implementations are closed or tied to specific setups, and datasets and retrieval corpora are scattered and inconsistently formatted. General-purpose frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex hide too much of the internals for research… 3. **[Efficient Prior-Guided Reasoning for Robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation under Conflicts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2026-efficient-prior-guided-reasoning-robust/)** *(2026)* Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works well when the retrieved passages are clean. Accuracy drops sharply when the passages are noisy, outdated or contradict each other. The authors study whether a model's own knowledge can act as a reference point for judging such evidence. 4. **[Web Sitemap Knowledge Can Enhance Autonomous Browsing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-web-sitemap-knowledge-can-enhance/)** *(2026)* LLM-based web agents often fail on real websites. They see only one page at a time, so they cannot infer how a site is organized. HTML or screenshot inputs also miss interface details such as collapsed menus. The authors argue that agents need external knowledge of the website, not only stronger policies.
