用双代理框架让小模型也能读懂长篇文学文本并给出带证据的推理。

Humanities and social science research requires close reading of long narrative materials such as novels, scripts, archives, and case reports, yet many users have limited access to costly proprietary long-context models. Compact, locally deployable language models are a practical alternative, but directly feeding them an entire long context remains costly, hard to inspect, and prone to missing sparse evidence. We present ClueWeaver, an evidence-aware dual-agent framework for long-narrative question answering with compact local models. A Finder identifies passages containing answer-critical clues through retrieval-guided segmentation, while an Interpreter derives the answer from the selected evidence, produces rationales with paragraph-ID citations, and applies an internal self-calibration pass for high-risk questions. Both agents are optimized with reward-guided reinforcement learning: Finder rewards emphasize evidence retention and faithful paragraph-ID references, and Interpreter rewards emphasize correctness, grounding, and concise explanations. This decomposition makes evidence selection and reasoning more inspectable than end-to-end prompting. Experiments across multiple long-context narrative question answering and claim verification settings show that ClueWeaver substantially improves local end-to-end language models while providing evidence coverage and paragraph-referenced reasoning traces.
