Researchers have introduced MMAgent-R$^2$, a novel agentic framework designed to improve multimodal retrieval augmented generation (mRAG) for knowledge-based visual question answering (KB-VQA). This new approach tackles the challenge of distinguishing between visually similar entities in large knowledge bases by incorporating visual reranking and active rejection mechanisms. Visual reranking directly compares query and candidate images, while active rejection allows the system to discard unreliable results and retrieve new candidates when necessary. Experiments on datasets like InfoSeek and MMhops show that MMAgent-R$^2$ achieves state-of-the-art performance, particularly in complex multi-image reasoning tasks. AI
