Contexts are Never Long Enough: Structured Reasoning for Scalable Question Answering over Long Document Sets
★★★★★
significance 3/5
Researchers introduce SLIDERS, a new framework designed to improve question answering over large document collections by using a relational database instead of a fixed context window. The system uses structured reasoning and a data reconciliation stage to handle massive datasets that exceed standard LLM context limits.
Why it matters
Moving beyond fixed context windows toward structured relational reasoning addresses the fundamental scalability limits of current LLM-based retrieval systems.
