首个支持多步推理诊断的智能RAG评测基准,可定位模型失败环节。

AgenticRAGTracer: A Hop-Aware Benchmark for Diagnosing Multi-Step Retrieval Reasoning in Agentic RAG

  • 用大模型自动生成多跳检索数据,支持每一步推理验证。
  • 1305条数据中顶尖模型准确率仅22.6%,暴露推理链断裂问题。
  • 适合研究智能体RAG推理能力与错误诊断的学者使用。

近年来基于智能体的方法快速发展,智能体RAG已成为重要研究方向。多跳推理要求模型进行有意识的多步交互,是评估该能力的关键测试场。然而现有基准通常仅提供最终问题和答案,缺少逐步连接原子问题到最终查询的中间步骤问题,难以分析模型在哪一步失败,也限制了对模型能力的细粒度评估。此外,多数基准为人工构建,耗时费力且难以扩展和泛化。为此,我们提出AgenticRAGTracer,首个主要由大语言模型自动构建的智能体RAG基准,支持分步验证。该基准覆盖多个领域,包含1,305个数据点,与主流基准无重叠。大量实验表明,即使最优大模型在本数据集上表现仍差:例如GPT-5在最难部分仅达22.6%的精确匹配(EM)准确率。跳步感知诊断揭示,失败主要源于推理链扭曲——或过早坍缩,或过度发散。这暴露出模型无法根据任务逻辑结构合理分配步骤的缺陷,填补了传统评估中缺失的诊断维度。代码与数据已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With the rapid advancement of agent-based methods in recent years, Agentic RAG has undoubtedly become an important research direction. Multi-hop reasoning, which requires models to engage in deliberate thinking and multi-step interaction, serves as a critical testbed for assessing such capabilities. However, existing benchmarks typically provide only final questions and answers, while lacking the intermediate hop-level questions that gradually connect atomic questions to the final multi-hop query. This limitation prevents researchers from analyzing at which step an agent fails and restricts more fine-grained evaluation of model capabilities. Moreover, most current benchmarks are manually constructed, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, while also limiting scalability and generalization. To address these challenges, we introduce AgenticRAGTracer, the first Agentic RAG benchmark that is primarily constructed automatically by large language models and designed to support step-by-step validation. Our benchmark spans multiple domains, contains 1,305 data points, and has no overlap with existing mainstream benchmarks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that even the best large language models perform poorly on our dataset. For instance, GPT-5 attains merely 22.6\% EM accuracy on the hardest portion of our dataset. Hop-aware diagnosis reveals that failures are primarily driven by distorted reasoning chains -- either collapsing prematurely or wandering into over-extension. This highlights a critical inability to allocate steps consistent with the task's logical structure, providing a diagnostic dimension missing in traditional evaluations. We believe our work will facilitate research in Agentic RAG and inspire further meaningful progress in this area. Our code and data are available at https://github.com/YqjMartin/AgenticRAGTracer.
