Researchers introduce DocTrace, a multi-agent RAG framework for long-document question answering that uses query-triggered knowledge organization rather than costly query-agnostic preprocessing. The system combines a lightweight document structural tree index, on-demand hypergraph working memory, and a graph-structured experience memory that stores successful reasoning plans for reuse. Evaluated on four long-document QA datasets, DocTrace outperforms the strongest baseline (ComoRAG) by up to 8.85% F1 and 4.40% EM while reducing computational cost by 53.32%.
