ZeroRAG: Decentralized Semantic Peer-to-Peer Routing for a Rearchitected RAG Retrieval Layer
ZeroRAG proposes a decentralized RAG retrieval routing layer where documents stay on owner nodes and self-organizing retrieval is achieved via semantic best-first walks. Experiments show it outperforms decentralized baselines in recall and network message overhead, approaches centralized document storage in recall and LLM answer accuracy, scales to 100,000 nodes, and self-heals from node failures.
tok: A Textual BPMN/DMN Syntax for Humans and AI
The paper proposes tok: a plain-text concrete syntax for BPMN 2.0.2 and DMN 1.5. It uses 2.2x fewer tokens than minimal BPMN XML and 7.7x fewer than raw exports; fault detection is 98.2% vs 85.8%, and it is applied via an MCP service for language models.
AttnSR: Using Attention Mechanisms to Solve the Reward Assignment Challenge in Long-Horizon Agent Reinforcement Learning
AttnSR proposes a policy-attention-based step-level reward enhancement method that requires no extra reward model or rollouts, improving ALFWorld success rate from 91.2% to 97.1% while reducing environment interactions by 29.9%.
