Struct-Searcher:结构化智能体工作流推动多模态深度信息搜索
阅读原文· arxiv.org现有深度研究智能体多基于证据累积模型线性聚合信息,缺乏处理跨模态矛盾信息的机制。为此提出的Struct-Searcher是一种基于信念修正理论的结构化智能体工作流,在推理过程中显式维护一个不断演化的多模态结构图,实现冲突感知的多模态深度信息检索。实验表明,Struct-Searcher即插即用、模型无关,在BrowseComp-VL上对五种骨干模型的平均相对准确率提升17.2%;同时在MM-BrowseComp、HLE-VL、BrowseComp-VL上分别比次优方法高3.7%、1.5%和0.7%。
Deep research agents have attracted increasing attention for their ability to collect large-scale online information to acquire target knowledge, with recent efforts shifting from purely text-based information seeking to multimodal settings. However, existing agentic workflows are largely aligned with evidence accumulation models, which linearly aggregate evidence and lack principled mechanisms for handling contradictory information across heterogeneous modalities. Towards this end, we propose Struct-Searcher, a structural agentic workflow grounded in belief revision theory that explicitly maintains an evolving multimodal structural graph throughout the reasoning process, enabling effective conflict-aware multimodal deep information seeking. Extensive experiments across multiple benchmark datasets and backbone models demonstrate that Struct-Searcher is (1) plug-and-play and model-agnostic, yielding an average relative accuracy improvement of 17.2% on BrowseComp-VL across five different backbones. (2) top-performing, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art vision-language models (VLMs) and deep research agents, with relative accuracy improvements of 3.7% on MM-BrowseComp, 1.5% on HLE-VL, and 0.7% on BrowseComp-VL over the second-best competing approach.
