让AI像人一样有结构地读长文档,提升搜索准确性
DeepRead: Document Structure-Aware Reasoning to Enhance Agentic Search
- 基于文档层级结构构建坐标导航系统,实现定位后连贯阅读
- 在4个数据集上平均比现有方法高10.3%的准确率
- 适合需要精准理解长文本的智能搜索场景
随着大语言模型工具使用能力的提升,检索增强生成(RAG)正从单次静态检索转向自主多轮证据获取。然而,现有智能体搜索框架通常将长文档视为无结构的片段集合,忽视了人类理解所需的层次组织与逻辑顺序。为此,我们提出DeepRead,一种结构感知的文档推理智能体,能将文档原生结构先验转化为可执行的推理能力。利用现代OCR的结构保真度,DeepRead构建了基于段落坐标的导航系统,并为LLM配备两个协同工具: extsf{Retrieve}用于扫描感知定位, extsf{ReadSection}用于在特定层级范围内连续、有序阅读。该设计实现了类似人类的“定位-阅读”推理范式,有效缓解传统检索方法中的上下文碎片化问题。在涵盖多种文档类型的四个基准测试中,DeepRead平均比Search-o1风格的基线高出10.3%。细粒度行为分析进一步证实,DeepRead自主采用符合人类习惯的阅读策略,验证了结构感知在精准文档推理中的关键作用。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the rapid advancement of tool-use capabilities in Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is shifting from static, one-shot retrieval toward autonomous, multi-turn evidence acquisition. However, existing agentic search frameworks typically treat long documents as flat collections of unstructured chunks, disregarding the native hierarchical organization and sequential logic essential for human comprehension. To bridge this gap, we introduce \textbf{DeepRead}, a structure-aware document reasoning agent designed to operationalize document-native structural priors into actionable reasoning capabilities. Leveraging the structural fidelity of modern OCR, DeepRead constructs a paragraph-level, coordinate-based navigation system and equips the LLM with two synergistic tools: \textsf{Retrieve} for scanning-aware localization, and \textsf{ReadSection} for contiguous, order-preserving reading within specific hierarchical scopes. This design elicits a human-like ``locate-then-read'' reasoning paradigm, effectively mitigating the context fragmentation inherent in traditional retrieval methods. Extensive evaluations across four benchmarks spanning diverse document types demonstrate that DeepRead outperforms Search-o1-style agentic search baselines by an average of 10.3\%. Fine-grained behavioral analysis further confirms that DeepRead autonomously adopts human-aligned reading strategies, validating the critical role of structural awareness in achieving precise document reasoning.
