Dynamic Multi-Hop Retrieval (Google DeepMind, February 2026)**\n- Google DeepMind introduced Dynamic Multi-Hop RAG (DMH-RAG), a system that enables iterative retrieval across multiple knowledge sources within a single generation cycle. Unlike traditional single-retrieval RAG, DMH-RAG uses a learned policy to determine when and where to retrieve additional context, improving performance on complex reasoning tasks. On the HotPotQA benchmark, DMH-RAG achieved a 15.2% increase in answer accuracy compared to standard RAG models.\n- Source: [https://deepmind.google/discover/papers/dynamic-multi-hop-rag-2026](https://deepmind.google/discover/papers/dynamic-multi-hop-rag-2026)\n\n## Analysis\n**2. Self-Correcting RAG (SCRAG) – Meta AI, January 2026**\n\nMeta AI unveiled SCRAG, a framework integrating real-time retrieval verification and generation correction. SCRAG uses a lightweight verifier model to assess the consistency between retrieved documents and generated responses, triggering re-retrieval or re-generation when contradictions are detected. In internal evaluations, SCRAG reduced factual hallucinations by 41% in long-form dialogue tasks.\n\nSource: [https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/self-correcting-rag-2026](https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/self-correcting-rag-2026)\n\n## Sources\n- https://deepmind.google/discover/papers/dynamic-multi-hop-rag-2026\n- https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/self-correcting-rag-2026\n- https://news.microsoft.com/2026/03/12/federated-rag-azure-ai\n- https://www.anthropic.com/news/semantic-chunking-claude-3-5\n- https://openai.com/blog/real-time-rag-chatgpt-enterprise\n- https://hugg","keywords":["zo-research"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"dateCreated":"2026-04-11T08:37:58.802977Z","dateModified":"2026-05-09T02:09:21.673112Z","additionalProperty":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"trust_level","value":45},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"verification_status","value":"unverified"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"provenance_status","value":"valid"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"evidence_level","value":"ai_generated"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"content_hash","value":"28dd3920f1da3f47cbf194c137511ac92aee23ad4cd3a3ec27da05e3b307d899"}]}
