Researchers have developed a new method called READ (Reliable Embedding-free Agentic Document-search) that aims to improve retrieval of information from long, complex documents, particularly financial and regulatory texts. Unlike traditional methods that rely on embedding chunks of text, READ uses an agent to perform deterministic operations like lexical search, structural navigation, and bounded span reads. This approach proved significantly more effective than dense retrieval, answering 58.8% of verified questions compared to 15.7% for the standard method, and also outperformed agents using top-k retrieval tools.
